The Commentary, as well as containing material addressed to advanced readers, is also designed to be accessible to those who are new to Homer. The Greek text of Iliad I is printed with a facing Englishtranslation of a literal kind, primarily intended to help beginners to construe the Greek and there is also a full vocabulary list.

Autoren-Profil

Homer was an ancient Greek author and epic poet. He is the reputed author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two epic poems that are the foundational works of ancient Greek literature. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential authors of all time; for example in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, Virgil refers to him as "poet sovereign", king of all poets; in the preface to his translation of the Iliad, Alexander Pope acknowledges that Homer has always been considered the "greatest of poets".
