Abstract

One of the most studied excerpts in the Iliad (Book XVIII, lines 478-608), which tells of the Shield of Achilles, is not unanimously interpreted. We herein offer a translation of this excerpt according to our perception of which interpretation is more consistent. The structure of the source text as well as its linguistic features constitute the interpretive basis of this translation.
