A Commentary on Homer's Odyssey: Volume II: Books IX-XVI Reviews

'models of clarity ... fascinating reading ... it presents a bracing challenge and you have to work to get at the genuine riches it contains' Martin Thorpe, Shrewsbury Sixth Form College, JACT Review
'This is a very impressive work of technical scholarship ... by far the best work available on the subject in this format.' Greece & Rome, Vol XXXVII, No 1 April 1990
'The authors have made excellent use of the chance to improve what was already a first-class monument of useful scholarship, especially in adding cross-references, bibliography and indices ... this superb achievement will do much to stimulate Homeric scholarship.'
