OverviewThis introductory Homer reader, entirely in Ancient Greek, sets the student of the 21st century along the same paths of learning by which Homer was understood in the ancient world. Encountering and understanding the Iliad in its original language is to experience it in its most unmediated and authentic form. The commentary presented here is a goldmine of information for any student, offering precious insight into a world of ancient scholarship as colorful and as variegated as Homer's verses themselves. The titanic expenditure of ink, time, and painstaking effort by the scholiasts was not one made lightly: they believed that the Iliad had something urgent and immediate to say in their lives, and found within its verses wisdom on language, the divine, the human condition, and so much more. It is the purpose of this book to allow students today to do just the same. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Paideia InstitutePublisher: Paideia Institute for Humanistic Study, Inc.
