In 2019, the Malta Classics Association started to compile a list of translations of the Iliad into different languages. The below is the result of the search of MCA members and the generous contributions of several people who have forwarded us information about other translations.
If you would like to contribute to this database with additional translations, kindly reach out to us by emailing the MCA at [email protected] . Thank you.
