Homer: Odyssey: Books I and II

Front Cover
Peter Jones
Liverpool University Press, 1991 - Poetry - 232 pages
This edition is produced with particular concern for the student coming to Homer for the first time. The text is given with facing translation and commentary, but the usual apparatus criticus at the bottom of each page is replaced by brief notes on Homeric language. This makes the text considerably more accessible for those without Homeric Greek.
