Podcast appearances and mentions of stanley lombardo

This week tune in as the guys interview one of the greatest and most prolific translators of this and the previous century—Dr. Stanley Lombardo. In this conversation we hear about Stanley's early education where he was, yes, drawn to Greek and Latin but especially the rhythms and performance of poetry. The idea that these ancient works were meant to be performed and heard (not read silently) has always been at the center of his attempts to make these texts sing and become something new. So how does he do it? How does oneyou thread that needle of “staying close to the original text” while “making it new for a contemporary audience”? How do different authors lend themselves to different approaches? And how do you accompany your own poetry with a drum? 

Stanley Lombardo is Emeritus Professor of Classics, University of Kansas. His previous translations include Homer's Iliad (1997, Hackett) and Odyssey (2000, Hackett), Hesiod's Works & Days and Theogony (1993, Hackett), among others.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here's an opening, introductory episode for the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE. Hi, I'm Mark Scarbrough. This is my passion project: To take Dante's Comedy slowly, passage by passage. I've taught it many times. But I always felt rushed. I wanted to take this masterpiece at my speed. So here I go. I'm going to be using my own rough English translations of the medieval Florentine in this podcast. You can find them at markscarbrough.com or walkingwithdante.com. There's a header there that's called "walking with Dante"--click that and you'll see the translations. But let me say: There are far better translations than mine out there. If you want to go over the top, get yourself one like Robert and Jean Hollander's or Stanley Lombardo's that offers a facing-page translation of the text: the medieval Florentine on one side, the English on the other. These will be more certain than mine--although mine will do as a great introduction to this magnificent poem. Support this podcast

In this episode I discuss Homer and Virgil with the eminent classicist and translator Stanley Lombardo. I am particularly taken by Lombardo's concept of "Locking eyebrows with the old masters," that is reading to see the world through the eyes of Homer or Virgil. A note on audio quality: because my usual podcasting long-distance service failed us, I had to resort to speaking with Prof. Lombardo via cell phone. The audio quality in this episode is thus not up to the usual show standards. The quality of the conversation, however, more than makes up for that. Books mentioned in this episode: Homer's Iliad, trans. Stanley Lombardo Homer's Odyssey, trans. Stanley Lombardo Virgil's Aeneid, trans. Stanley Lombardo
