This landmark translation--specifically designed, like the oral original, to be read aloud--will soon be required reading for every student of Greek antiquity, and the great traditions of history and literature to which it gave birth.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Homer<br><b>Publisher:</b> University of California Press<br><b>Published:</b> 02/23/2019<br><b>Pages:</b> 608<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.80lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.80h x 5.90w x 1.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780520281431<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 11.3<br><b>Point Value:</b> 25<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>12787 / Iliad<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Peter Green</b> is Dougherty Centennial Professor Emeritus of Classics at the University of Texas at Austin and Adjunct Professor of Classics at the University
