The Iliad - Homer - Alexander Pope translation • Book II - Read by Nick Gisburne • Full Text: • https://www.infoplease.com/primary-so... • This is by far the most difficult part of The Iliad to read aloud because there are so many names with difficult pronunciations. All I can say is, I did as much research as I could, spending several solid days trying to work out the correct way to say each of the names, and then a further two days of practice, repeating them within the context of the poem over and over until they sounded as natural as possible. And that was all before I started recording. • I wanted this part of the poem to be easy on the ear because in reality its second half is largely a long, long list of names and places. I did the best I could with what I had to work with, and if you find that some of the names aren't correctly pronounced, well you probably know much more about Ancient Greek than I. • With this list of names out of the way now, I can promise you there will be much more action in future books!
