9780521312097 / The Iliad: A Commentary (Volume VI: books 21-24)
by Cambridge University Press (February 11, 1993) (Author)
This is the sixth and final volume of the major Commentary on Homer’s Iliad now being prepared under the General Editorship of Professor G. S. Kirk. It discusses the last four books of the poem in detail, and its main purpose is to help readers to appreciate the poetic and narrative qualities of the work. There is no other study comparable to this in scale and detail in English. The introduction also discusses the structure and main themes of the poem, its relationship to the Odyssey, and the way in which the Homeric poems were interpreted in antiquity. The Greek text is not included. This volume contains a consolidated index of the Greek words in all six volumes.
