Pagera Editor's Note
This book by W. Lucas Collins, editor of the series Ancient Classics for English Readers, introduces Homer's two epics to readers without Greek. The first part follows the Iliad from the quarrel of Agamemnon and Achilles through the great battles, the embassy to Achilles and the death of Patroclus to the return of Achilles and the death of Hector. The second part follows the Odyssey, from Penelope and her suitors and the journey of Telemachus through the wanderings of Ulysses to his revenge on the suitors and his recognition by Penelope. Collins retells the action, quotes passages in English translation and closes each part with critical remarks.
