Layman's Guide to the Poet Homer

More about the book

Eight hundred pages have been reduced into most of this slim book. Some lines from Iliad and the Odyssey have been translated from Greek and these have been put into italics. Perhaps the reader will go on to study a translation from the ancient Greek in its entirety. For the works of Homer glitter with the golden garments and vessels of the gods. They shine with the sparkle of bronze and are full of the wonder of a world where gods and mortals mingle.
