 The most authoritative commentary on the Odyssey

A Commentary on Homer's Odyssey
Volume I: Introduction and Books I-VIII
Edited by the late Alfred Heubeck, Stephanie West, and J. B. Hainsworth
Clarendon Press

This is the most authoritative commentary on the Odyssey now available in paperback
`The sheer range, penetration, authority, and readability of the notes to this volume make one's ears flap in purest gratitude; and the introductory essays to each book are models of incisive scholarship.' The Times
The Introductions and Commentary are thoroughly revised, and adapted to T. W. Allen's Oxford Classical Text of Homer's Odyssey (OUP 198?)

Description
This is the first instalment of a three-volume commentary in English, compiled by an international team of scholars and first published in Italian under the auspices of the Fondazione Lorenzo Valla. In this volume the commentary by West (Books I-IV) and Hainsworth (Books V-VIII) is preceded by an introduction which discusses previous research on the Odyssey, the nature of the poem and its relation to the Iliad, the epic dialect, and the transmission of the text. Book VI is a regular GCSE set text.
