Introduction to the Language and Verse of Homer (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from Introduction to the Language and Verse of Homer

This Introduction is not designed to lay stress on HO meric language as contrasted with Homeric poetry, but is intended to relieve the commentary of explanations of dialectic forms and metrical peculiarities, and to call the student's attention to the most noteworthy characteristics of Homeric style and syntax. In reading Homer, certain questions, Which cannot be avoided, as to the origin and rela tion of forms, will attract less of the pupil's attention and demand less of the teacher's time in the class-room if the facts are stated in their proper connection; the grouping of these facts will make them more intelligible and more easily remembered.
