First published in 1903, Selections from Homer?s Iliad has become a classic Greek textbook. Allen Rogers Benner presents selections from twelve books of the Iliad both in Greek and English. Short summaries between books bridge the narrative and aid the student in gaining a comprehensive view of the Iliad as a work of literature and art. Invaluable resources include an extensive section of notes on the text, a short Homeric grammar, and a vocabulary and Greek index. In a new foreword, Mark W. Edwards argues for the utility of Benner?s text while offering a useful summary of current scholarship on the historical sources of the epic, Greek oral tradition, and Homeric style and diction. Benner?s Iliad will join Barbour?s Herodotus and Garrison?s Catullus as indispensable volumes in classical culture and literature available from the University of Oklahoma Press.

This is not a book intended for someone making a complete study of the Iliad in the ancient Greek (something I have never done, alas!), but serves to introduce a solid portion of Homer's work. It was the text in one of my college courses, so I also had the benefit of solid in-person instruction while using it. On a related note: I tend not to use the grammar and glossary/vocabulary features of books such as these, because I find it so annoying to be constantly flipping back and forth. I use either my Liddell & Scott Lexicon or the Perseus Project website as resources instead - they give you definitions, grammatical form, and other helpful information while the text is open in front of you. Just a study tip from one student to another... ( )
