Title: Excellent all in one resource
Product review: This edition of Iliad I contains an introduction, text in Greek, commentary and vocabulary. The introduction discusses style, sources, meter, transmission and other issues. The author's prose is plain and graceful, not scholarly and pedantic. The commentary notes are long, detailed, extensive, fascinating. The Greek font is readable: words and accents are clearly printed. The font is small, but it seems obvious that all publishers of Homer in the original want his readers to share his disability. The 1200 word vocabulary is convenient because it is located in the same volume as the text, it is limited to Homeric usage, and it is restricted to words found in Book I. Also consider the excellent Draper on Book I (0472067923).
