Homeric Stories for Young Readers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Homeric Stories for Young Readers
The following stories, selected from Homer's inexhaust' ible supply, have been prepared to aid those not familiar with them in the original.
Few have access to translations of Homer, and, even where translations can be secured, young pupils find it difficult to make a connected narrative from the widely scattered material. Then, too, many teachers have given little or no attention to the study of Homer, so that they do not always find it easy to explain to their pupils the numerous references and allusions found in both classical and current literature.
It is hoped that the following chapters may prove entertaining and profitable reading for the children and a fruitful source of material for teachers.
