Praise for the first edition:
Powell admirably wrestles an almost impossible amount of material into a coherent presentation for his target audience ... It is well written in a clear and accessible style. Honest in his aims, Powell admirably introduces the genius and challenge of the Homeric works.
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
The book has a refreshingly personal touch ... Powell succeeds very well in making Homer s poetry and Homeric problems appealing to his intended readers.
Classical Bulletin
Powell offers an impressive introduction to Homer, focusing on the epic texts for which he is known, the Iliad and the Odyssey Highly recommended.
Library Journal
this is a useful book as it introduces a wide range of topics with clarity will certainly inspire readers to pursue the further study of Homer.
Bryn Mawr Classical Review, February 2008
Updated throughout, this second edition includes a new section on Homer s reception in ancient Greece; a new chapter on Homer and archaeology; additional maps; an updated bibliography; a glossary of names and key terms; and new information on the oral composition of the poems.
Assuming no prior knowledge of Greek, the author supplies all the background information necessary to understand the poems, making this an ideal resource for those coming to the field for the first time.
