'''''On Translating Homer'''''
▲'''''On Translating Homer''''', published in January 1861, was a printed version of the series of public lectures given by [[Matthew Arnold]] as [[Professor of Poetry]] at [[University of Oxford|Oxford]] from [[3 November]] [[1860]] to [[18 December]] [[1860]].
Arnold's purpose was to discuss how his principles of [[literary criticism]] applied to the two [[Homer|Homeric]] [[Epic poetry|epic]]s and to the translation of a classical text. He comments with disapproval on [[John Ruskin]]'s 1860 review article "The English translators of Homer" in the ''[[National Review]]''. He gives much space to comparing and criticising already-published translations of the epics, notably

Arnold reserved much space for the criticism of the recently-published translation of the ''Iliad'' into a ballad-like metre by F. W. Newman. Newman took offence at Arnold's public criticism of his translation, and published a reply, ''Homeric Translation in Theory and Practice''. To this Arnold in turn responded, with a last lecture, given at Oxford on [[30 November]] [[1861]], afterwards separately published in March 1862 under the title ''On Translating Homer: last words''. -->
