Homeri Carmina et Cycli Epici Reliquiæ. Pars Prima: Ilias

The Latin translation presented in this work was transcribed from a Greek/Latin edition. It deliberately tries to stay as close as possible to the Greek original, not only to make the Greek text more accessible, but also for other reasons which are best explained by a review in the French magazine "Le Journal des Savants": "Les pomes homriques remontant une si haute antiquit, et ils ont t si diffremment interprts par les anciens Grecs eux-mmes, que pour donner une ide de ce monument qui nous retrace une nature et des murs si opposes celles de notre civilisation, il tait indispensable de s'astreindre, dans la traduction latine, la fidlit la plus rigoureuse, et conserver les plus faibles nuances de construction, de peur de dire autre chose, ou du moins de parler autrement que ne le fait Homre, et de dfigurer ansi la marche libre et nave de son langage. On a donc eu raison de conserver l'ancienne manire de traduire Homre mot pour mot, et mme d'tendre l'application de ce systme jusqu'aux limites imposes par la langue latine. Avant les travaux de Wolf, de Heyne, de Passow, et surtout de Buttmann, le sens de bien des mots, de bien des phrases, n'avait point t constat; c'est ce que la nouvelle traduction a d faire en changeant alors en totalit l'ancienne version, et en offrant ainsi le rsum des travaux les plus rcents. Bien des fautes de traduction qui s'taient transmises en quelque sorte traditionellement, un grand nombre d'incorrections, de ngligences, restaient dans l'ancienne version latine, uvre primitive de Raphael Volaterranus et d'Andr Divus; elles ont disparu dans la nouvelle et sont remplaces par une explication claire et prcise. Toutes les fois que pour faciliter l'intelligence de certains passages difficiles on a d insrer dans la traduction des mots ncessaires qui ne se trouvaient pas dans l'original, on a pris soin de mettre ces mots en caractres italiques. Partout la diction homrique est conserve scrupuleusement, ainsi que la marche des priodes. C'est ce qui manquait principalement aux anciennes traductions; et cependant c'est de la liaison plus ou moins troite des membres de chaque phrase que rsulte l'apprciation de l'anciennet relative des diffrentes parties des posies homriques." ......Buy Now (To Read More)
