Revue de presse

An excellent contribution to Homeric studies by a seasoned scholar. Highly recommended to beginning and experienced readers. (Religious Studies Review)

'...a highly suitable introduction for students new to Homer, and one of the greatest merits of Griffin's excellent edition is the conviction with which he argues for its importance in the structure of the poem...this is a thoroughly reliable edition, and it can be recommended not only to beginners in Homer but also to more advanced scholars.' (A.F.Garvie, Univ. of Glasgow, Jnl. of Hellenic Studies 118 (1998), 208)
