This is the fifth volume in the major six-volume Commentary on
Homer's Iliad now being prepared under the general- editorship of
Professor G. S. Kirk. Volume I was published in 1985, Volume II in
1990; both were edited by Professor Kirk himself. Like its
predecessors, the present volume (the first to appear from the hand
of one of Professor Kirk's four collaborators) consists of four
introductory essays (including discussions of similes and other
features of narrative style) followed by the Commentary. The Greek
text is not included. This project is the first large-scale
commentary on The Iliad, for nearly one hundred years, and takes
special account of language, style and thematic structure as well
as of the complex social and cultural background to the work. The
Commentary is an essential reference work for all students of Greek
literature, and archaeologists and historians will also find that
it contains matters of relevance to them.
