¿NECESITAMOS TRADUCIR LA ILÍADA UNA Y OTRA VEZ? REFLEXIONES SOBRE LA PERTINENCIA DE MÁS TRADUCCIONES

This paper aims to consider the reasons why Homer’s Iliad has been so translated along the history and why we feel the need to produce more new translations of such a unique work. We will use an excerpt of the story, an assembly of Gods looking at Troy, and some English and Spanish translations of the 20th and 21st centuries, including translations made by artificial intelligence, to find out the reasons of those translations in both languages. Adapting the text to the times, preserving its status as a classic and the creativity that the work inspires, all these seem the most evident reasons to keep translating the Iliad.
