Yes, that is frightening to think of. By the way, I was noticing recently how HEARING The Iliad, even though it is translated, is a compeltely different experience than reading it. Of course Homer originally sang these great stories in verse. But it is interesting how down through the centuries, even translated into a different language, the power of that story still echoes. Though I was listening to a great British actor intoning a brilliant translation - an actor capable of bringing the story to life. But that is part of the poetry - performance. it was normal to hear that in the ancient days. It was only in recent times that poetry was separated from singing.
