Epic poetry Translators Romanian language Cultural identity Historical linguistics Creativity (Linguistics) ab: The article focuses on the challenges and significance of translating Homer’s *Iliad* into Romanian, specifically addressing the recent translation by Constantin Aristia. It argues that Aristia’s work represents a successful and artistic effort to render Homer’s poetic essence into Romanian by creatively inventing epithets and words that reflect the original’s spirit, despite criticism from some who misunderstand or mock these linguistic innovations. The text situates translation as a complex, symbiotic relationship between original and translator, emphasizing that true appreciation of Homer requires knowledge of the original language, while translations serve as valuable but inevitably imperfect reflections. Additionally, the article discusses the evolution and character of cultivated languages, including Romanian, highlighting how language both shapes and reflects cultural identity, morality, and historical continuity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
