Abstract

Three scientists – P. Ingorokva, S.kaukhchishvil and ak.Urushadze speak about four cases of hexametrical triptych translation of ancient Greek epic poem "Iliad" It‘s important to mention the fact, that two accurate and complete hexametrical triptych translations of "Iliad" are found in two Georgian translations of St. John of Damascus Homily on the Dormition, one of which is made by Ephrem the Syrian , but the second translator is anonymous. There are two different but exact and complete translations of 341 and 342 triptychs of the V song. Georgian translators try to follow the later nature of Greek dactylic hexametric style when the Greek language no longer possessed the understanding of syllables-length and more or less number of syllables were allowed in each raw.
