Praise for the first edition:
“Powell admirably wrestles an almost impossible amount of
material into a coherent presentation for his target audience ...
It is well written in a clear and accessible style. Honest in his
aims, Powell admirably introduces the genius and challenge of the
Homeric works.”
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
“The book has a refreshingly personal touch ... Powell
succeeds very well in making Homer’s poetry and Homeric
problems appealing to his intended readers.”
Classical Bulletin
“Powell offers an impressive introduction to Homer,
focusing on the epic texts for which he is known, the Iliad
and the Odyssey … Highly recommended.”
Library Journal
“…this is a useful book as it introduces a wide
range of topics with clarity…will certainly inspire readers
to pursue the further study of Homer.”
Bryn Mawr Classical Review, February 2008
