Reading the poem in its original language provides an experience as challenging as it is rewarding.

For anyone who has completed studies in elementary Greek, this edition provides the assistance necessary to read, understand, and appreciate the first book of the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e in its original language. \u003cbr\u003eStructured to maximize reading ease, P. A. Draper's volume stands out among introductions to the Greek \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e. Readers of this edition will appreciate the positioning of all notes facing the Greek text; the frequent vocabulary entries; the complete glossary; the appendix on basic Homeric forms and grammar; and the copious annotations on vocabulary, grammar, meter, historical and mythological allusions, and literary interpretation. \u003cbr\u003ePrimarily designed as a textbook, this volume will be an effective classroom tool and a useful acquisition for any library supporting a classics program. The book will find readers among high school and college Greek students, advanced students in Homer or epic poetry classes, graduate students working on reading-list requirements, and anyone interested in maintaining Greek reading skills. \u003cbr\u003eP.
