Lombardo (classics, U. of Kansas) presents a new translation of the Greek epic, arranged in paragraphs to help distinguish the speeches from the narrative and from each other. Included in this
volume is a substantial introduction pointing out historical and literary features, a map, a floor diagram, a glossary of names with meanings and pronunciation guides when appropriate, an index
of speeches, and a list for further reading. The work is clearly meant to be used in classrooms, but also suffices for other libraries. Paper edition (unseen), ＄9.95. Annotation c. Book News,
