Homeric Greek A Book for Beginners By Clyde Pharr and John Wright

“Unique to this work are the Comments, interspersed at regular intervals, on the names of divinities, the movement of the plot, other versions of the myths. . . . These notes should reduce the frustrations of teaching Hesiod in translation and invite students to appreciate the richness of detail in [Hesiod’s] poetry.”—Classical Outlook

This revised edition adds concise sections that will be of immense help to students who have not learned Latin grammar. Wright has judiciously removed extraneous commentary on the Iliad, while keeping the essence of Pharr’s time-tested text untouched.
