Best Translation Of The Iliad Novels & Stories

*Never judge a friend by what they give, but of how much of themselves they give* *Editing magic performed by KJ24 and Shyqash, plus contributions by the regular gang of brigands and neer-do-wells* *There is a bit of mangling of the Iliad going on. My apologies to Homer and the countless singers before him who carried the Iliad down through the dark centuries until the Greeks figured out how writing works* (From the floor of Katrina's office)

PLANNING… The brothers told of everything they saw as the Alphas, Skylar and Aaliyah listened. “Can you draw it out for us?” Aaliyah asked. “We can do better than that.” Skylar said walking behind the men. Adam nodded. Skylar touched his head and uttered a few words in latin “Ostende quid mens viderit. Videant omnes revela.” Translated means show me what the mind has seen. Reveal so that all may see.

Abstergo, annihilare, omnia adversa! Ignis meus, ferox, eximius, et liber! Incinero, devasto, omnia inimica!" Translation: "Fierce fire, my extraordinary power Fury of the flames, my enemies devour I consume, I burn away, all obstacles Fiery fury, I command! Extreme flames, I summon you! I burn away, annihilate, all that opposes! My fire, fierce, extraordinary, and free! I scorch, I devastate, all that is enemy!”

Elysian tried to repeat the word but she couldn't pronounce it well. "It's 'Praestigia'. kid. It is a Latin word, and to put it in English, it directly translates into Illusion. You know, what's Illusion means, or should I tell you?" Adrian mocked her. "Don't think of yourself so highly, just because you knew a Latin word. I mean no one goes around talking in Latin, that's why it's a dead language. And as for the meaning of Illusion, I know pretty what it means, Illusions can be said to be what fools the mind. I'm not an elementary kid, okay. "Elysian huffed and folds her arms in front of her chest.

Below are the transliteration and translation: "To aíma tou fýlaká sou, mátia tis apátis, fos tou fengarioú, fotiá tou íliou. ftiáxe mou éna kleidí gia na anairéso ta desmá. ftiáxe mou éna kleidí gia na lýso tis kleidariés sou. ftiáxe mou éna kleidí gia na eleftheróseis to krátimá sou. Aíma, Órasi, Fos, Fotiá"

Instantly everyone in the room began murmuring. "Show me the scroll, the newer one," Lydia gasped. "Sure, no problem." Galen told her. "Jason, hand me one of the copies. Don't want to get the original within kicking distance in case we miscalculate." Lydia and Galen translated together. His Middle English was good but she corrected a couple of his French pronunciations. Jason shook his head. "You two have got to be the biggest geeks ever. This is a match made in heaven."

Bella said to her brother so that Xander couldn't understand. I'm nowhere near fluent in Italian or Latin yet, but I think it meant something like 'Leo, please tell him he can't do that'. Leo stood silently thinking his jaw tensed along with the rest of his body. "Alpha non possiamo avere una ripetizione di Lia e Haden," Blair said, meaning 'We can't afford to have a repeat of Lia and Haden' or something similar in English. "Lei è tua sorella. Non lasciarlo," Luca protested, meaning 'she's your sister. Don't let him'

Raising my hands, I begin to chant the old language. "Avertat. Verte hoc modo. Aim versus aliam faciem. Ubi olim Dalia, ego sum. Averte huc et converte. Aim arma tua ad eam faciem pulchra paulo." (Turn away. Turn this way. Aim towards another face. Where Dalia was once, I am. Turn this way and turn her way. Aim your weapons at her pretty little face.) I say, Dalia's eyes bulging out from my words.

Latin Translations: quid vis= what do you want?/amo te, sed ego fugax. ego sum malus ad anglorum= i love you, but I'm shy. I'm bad at English/Ego amare color, oculi tui=i love the color of your eyes/Ego dilexit te cum primum vidi te= i loved you when i first saw you/oculi tui sicut in nocte caelum= your eyes are like the night sky

POV. Isabella Di´Giotanno. We hold hands, Artemis, Aika and I as we listen to recite, “Aderfí, aderfí se kaló kai se epikaloúmai, stop me sto vasíleió sou, use me na bo sto vasíleio tis Ekátis.” I frown, while I said, “what the hell does that mean, Artemis?” Artemis smiles amused as she answers me, “The exact translation would be, Sister, sister, I call your name and I invoke you. Take me to your kingdom. Let me enter to the Hecate’s Realm.”
