<div><p>First published in 1903, <I>Selections from Homer’s Iliad</I> has become a classic Greek textbook. Allen Rogers Benner presents selections from twelve books of the <I>Iliad</I> both in Greek and English. Short summaries between books bridge the narrative and aid the student in gaining a comprehensive view of the <I>Iliad</I> as a work of literature and art. Invaluable resources include an extensive section of notes on the text, a short Homeric grammar, and a vocabulary and Greek index.</p><p>In a new foreword, Mark W. Edwards argues for the utility of Benner’s text while offering a useful summary of current scholarship on the historical sources of the epic, Greek oral tradition, and Homeric style and diction. Benner’s <I>Iliad</I> will join Barbour’s <I>Herodotus</I> and Garrison’s <I>Catullus</I> as indispensable volumes in classical culture and literature available from the University of Oklahoma Press.</p><p> </p></div>
