Reading Homer presents two highlights of the Iliad: Book 16, where
Patroclus fights and dies, and Book 18, where Achilles grieves for
him and is awarded new armour before he returns to battle. It
enables students who have been learning Greek for perhaps a year to
approach Homer for the first time, and to have the satisfaction of
reading two whole books in the original language. Full and detailed
help is given with vocabulary, accidence and syntax. Homeric forms
are introduced and set alongside Attic ones, enabling students to
consolidate their existing knowledge at the same time as extending
it. The Introduction and notes enable students to see these two
books in the context of the whole epic, and the epic itself in the
context of early Greek society. They also encourage students to
consider why the Greeks themselves regarded Homer as the master
poet.
