Homer: A Transitional Reader
by
John H. O'Neil and Timothy F. Winters

This reader eases students into reading continuous, original Homeric Greek. Fifteen passages from the Iliad are included with pre-reading materials, grammatical and comprehension exercises, vocabulary and grammar notes, and more.

Fifteen selections from the Iliad progress through readings of graduated increasing length. Each selection begins with a reading that has metrical and dialectical challenges resolved.

Post-reading questions encourage students to delve into fuller understanding and appreciation of what they’ve read.
