Excerpt from On Translating Homer
Here even the first inversion, have Ilium's sons thine arms Stript from Patroclus' shoulders gives the reader a sense of a movement not Homeric; and the second inversion, a God him contending ln the van Slew gives this sense ten times stronger. Instead of moving on without check, as in reading the original, the reader twice finds himself, in reading the translation, brought up and checked. Homer moves with the same simplicity and rapidity in the highly-wrought as in the simple passage.
