Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Homeric Stories, Iliad and Odyssey: Done Into English Prose
Such notes of the translators as would be useful to young readers have been preserved, and I have added, in brackets, a few others that seemed to be required for the special public to which this volume is adapted. Other explanation the Iliad scarcely needs. The plot and its characters reveal themselves fully as the tale progresses, and allusions that are not quite clear at first soon become intelligible.
