Composed between 800 and 700 B.C., the Iliad tells the story of the Achilles and other warriors in the tenth year of the Trojan War. The poem tells of the famous quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles and all that resulted, the extraordinary battlefield accomplishments of the world's most famous warriors and the final encounter between the Trojan Prince Hector and Achilles. The Iliad is the oldest and finest epic poem in Western culture. This book contains a new translation by Canadian Professor Ian Johnston. It has been translated from the original Greek into a modern English poetic form and was designed first and foremost for those who will be reading Homer's Iliad for the first time. Here, now, exists a new translation, faithful to Homer's eloquent poetic rendition yet fully understandable by the general reader. Richer Resources Publications is proud to present this new translation by Ian Johnston. For anyone who has ever wanted to read these classics, but were backed off by older English translations, this translation and its companion text, the Odyssey, serve as an introduction to two of the greatest classics of all time. The translation remains very close to Homer s text, yet the modern English idiom is extremely fluent and clear, with a rhythm well suited to the speaking voice. It s no accident that this translation has formed the basis for dramatic presentations of the Iliad in Philadelphia and Oxford and was chosen by Naxos Audiobooks for its full-length recording of the poem.

Mankind has long sought answers to the questions of his own mortality. Time and again, this led inevitably to the broader questions of life itself, and therein lies the common denominator of man's wisdom on aging. Philosophers from Diogenes to Dylan each have their own statements on the matter but they seem to agree on one thing. Aging is a part of living. Aging doesn't mean getting old. All will age. We begin aging from the time we are born. But we only begin to get old when we no longer find beauty in living and reasons to live. These pages contain 2500 years of wisdom poignantly illustrated by an artist ho herself remained young all her life, right on up to the age of 87. Richer Resources Publications is pleased to add this latest title to their Greatest Quotes Series of books.

Zeus, Father of the Olympian Immortals, said, How simple the child. 3000 years later, B. C. Forbes of Forbes magazine fame made the statement, Upon our children - how they are taught - rests the fate - or fortune - of tomorrow s world. Both true, yet spans apart, it is perhaps the very width of this span which best defines the child. Small yet wide-eyed, innocent yet persistent, the source of both our greatest worries and our most passionate joys, They are who they are, could well be the best description yet. Compiled from the wisdom of 3000 years of recorded history, the one thing which seems certain is that childhood is a special time for the child as well as for the adult.

William von Humbolt wrote of Aeschylus' The Oresteia that, "among all the products of the Greek stage, none can compare with it in tragic power; no other play shows the same intensity and pureness of belief in the divine and good; none can surpass the lessons it teaches and the wisdom of which it is the mouthpiece." A sequence of three plays, The Oresteia relays the final tragedies which befall the House of Atreus following the end of the Trojan War. The first play, "Agamemnon," tells of the return of King Agamemnon from Troy and of his murder by his wife and her lover. The second, "The Libation Bearers," details the revenge exacted by Agamemnon's son, Orestes, and daughter, Electra, for their father's death. In the third play of the trilogy, "The Eumenides," Orestes and Apollo go before an Athenian jury to determine their ultimate fate. The only full trilogy to have survived from the ancient Greek playwrights, The Oresteia was first performed at a festival in Athens in 458 B.C. where it won first prize. The Oresteia today remains one of the most popular plays of all time.
