🎯Arnold's purpose was to discuss how his principles of literary criticism applied to the two Homeric epics 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 criticizing already-published translations of the epics, notably
🎯George Chapman’s OdysseyAlexander Pope’s IliadWilliam Cowper's IliadIchabod Charles Wright's Iliad (vol. 1, 1859; vol. 2 was to appear in 1865)F. W. Newman's Iliad (1856)

🎯He adds polite comments on William Maginn's Homeric Ballads (which first appeared in Fraser's Magazine, where Arnold intended to publish these lectures).
🎯Arnold identifies four essential qualities of Homer the poet to which the translator must do justice:
🎯that he is eminently rapid;
🎯 that he is eminently plain and direct both in the evolution of his thought and in the expression of it, that is, both in his syntax and in his words;
🎯 that he is eminently plain and direct in the substance of his thought, that is, in his matter and ideas;
🎯and, finally, that he is eminently noble
🎯After a discussion of the meters employed by previous translators, and in other existing English narrative poetry, he argues the need for a translation of the Iliad in hexameters in a poetical dialect, like the original.
🎯He notes the German translations of the Iliad and Odyssey into hexameters by Johann Heinrich Voss.
🎯 He quotes English hexameter translations of short Homeric passages by himself and by E. C. Hawtrey and also surveys original English hexameter poetry, including

🎯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.
