LISTEN NOW Written By: Homer Narrated By: Derek Jacobi, Maria Tucci Publisher: Penguin Audio Date: August 2006 Duration: 8 hours 45 minutes Summary: Dating to the ninth century BC, Homer’s timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to  the wrenching, tragic conclusion of the Trojan War.

He maintains the drive and metric music of Homer’s poetry, and evokes the impact and nuance of the Iliad’s mesmerizing repeated phrases in what Peter Levi calls “an astonishing performance.”
