citation request on "designed for oral performance" needs attention[edit]
Lombardo designs his translations to be performed orally (!! CITATION NEEDED !!; Contradicted by Amazon.com review for his translation.)
The article text claiming his tranlsations are designed to be performed orally are partially validated by Lombardo's preface to his translation of the Iliad (ISBN 0-87220-352-2), where he talks about how he refined his text through actual performance. He never says specfically that the result is intended for oral performance, but I feel that's a safe extrapolation. I don't know to what the paranthesized counterclaim refers, but if it's this review then I think the review has been misrepresented; its quotations come from the same preface, which certainly doesn't contradict itself! ~ Psyno (talk) 03:37, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
