Book Reviews of A Reading Course in Homeric Greek: Book 1

Book Review: First Look at Homer in Original Greek.
Summary: 5 Stars

An excellent no frills introduction to ancient Homeric Greek syntax, vocabulary, and translation. This book can, with the assistance of a tutor, quickly bring the reader to some of the first translations of a language that is so ancient, that it was spoken way before it was written (only because writing and alphabets had not been created yet!). Anyway, this book takes the "scare" out of seemingly unintelligable sqiggles and lines.The book also covers the musical verse that the poem was originally sung in. So, buy a copy and sing the Odyssey!
