This looks like a fantastic book to help guide students through the lit text set. The text is clear and in very accessible format. The commentary notes are very useful both for language, literary and contextual purposes and are extremely thorough. The vocabulary list at the end should also prove invaluable for preparation and revision of the text. The general introduction is also very helpful for those with no knowledge and for a good understanding of Homer. * Andrew Foinette, Classics Teacher, Forest School, UK *
