This reading is wonderful, truly a tale well spun, your catalogue of ships - shining as the sun! Nine years have passed, the same the Grecian’s waited - “Resume us the Tale of Troy” they shout!, so listeners may be placated.
I actually recorded this second part in September 2011, but I shelved the editing of it until now because I've busy doing other work. Hopefully I'll be able to continue with more of this project soon. 2 books down, 22 to go!
Your last comment was about 3 years ago so I hope you still read these comments. This is amazing! Hoping you will be coming out with more of the Iliad. Thank you!
There's a skip in the action, from Line 700 to Line 1028 at recording time 48:14 -- following Line 700 "Proud of his host, unrivall'd in his reign, In silent pomp he moves along the main." The next lines are: "His brother follows, and to vengeance warms The hardy Spartans, exercised in arms:" which are returned to after Line 1052, "Phorcys and brave Ascanius here unite The Ascanian Phrygains, eager for the fight." Why this revision? -- Anyway, great work -- especially on all those names -- and wonderful benefit to our ears.

Thank you, so useful! This information on the prononciation of names helps one to sing this!! Thank you!
The infamous endless catalogue of ships...
Welcome back Nick!
Yes I second that. Hoping to hear book III at some point as it's a fab narration.
Why did you stop at this point? You have a wonderful reading voice that offsets Pope heroic couplets very nicely. You should continue.
Life intervened, sorry.
Well, I appreciate that. And it's a big undertaking, no doubt. But I do feel you do it well. @@Gisburne2000
@Gisburne2000 how dare you have other commitments. Lol. Fair nuff. We be stoked if u got round to the next one but. Love the prose
Please for the love of God do the rest of the book please
excellent, thank you ..... next one please :)
@logicaust There's a natural divide at 40:34 if that helps!
I'm going to have to segment this one (just like a real book hehe).
Peace.
Any plans on book three?
Book or rhapsody?
