This edition of one of the most enduringly popular and familiar
books of the Odyssey - the encounter of Odysseus and his men with
the cannibal Cyclops Polyphemos - grew out of the classes taken at
the Joint Association of Classics Greek Summer School, where
students who had completed a beginners' course were making their
first acquaintance with Homeric verse. The complete text of the
book, with generous narrative headings, and illustrations from
Greek art, is complemented by a running vocabulary and translation
assistance on facing pages. The brief introduction deals with the
composition of the Homeric poems, with the story of the Odyssey as
a whole and this book in particular. It considers the peculiarities
of Homeric dialect forms and the scansion of hexameter verse. The
book is ideal for all those tackling Homer for the first time, and
is suitable for use in schools and upwards.
