Through eight Homeric Hymns and through excerpts from The Iliad and The Odyssey, this volume tells the story of each epic, and introduces students, teachers, and general readers to mythology and literary study. Clear and copious footnotes reveal the essence of the epic poet's art. Analytical and creative writing suggestions and sample essays provide training in composition.
Helaine L. Smith has taught English in grades six through twelve for over thirty-five years at Hunter College High School and The Brearley School. She is the author of Masterpieces of Classic Greek Drama, journal articles for CANE and CAMWS, and pieces about teaching The Odyssey for Literary Matters. She was a reader of AP English exams for The College Board and is currently completing a book adapting Aristophanes' comedies for middle school performance.
