Iliad Book 1 With An Essay On Homeric Grammar And Notes By Db Monro PDF Download

Excerpt from Iliad, Book I: With an Essay on Homeric Grammar and Notes The purpose of this work' is to furnish an introduction to the reading of Homer, suited to the wants of persons who have learned the rudiments of Attic Greek, and have made some little progress in construing. To such persons the first difficulty of Homer is the dialect, and accordingly 1 have given up consider able space to an account of the peculiar grammatical forms. This part of the book (pp. 21 - 32) should be carefully read along with, or even before, the text. Some of the sections which treat of syntax (pp. 33 - 48) are probably too difficult to be studied with advantage by a beginner; but I trust that they will be found useful for reference. Those who can read a few lines of Homer without difficulty will find it very advantageous to look at the context of the passages quoted in this part, and endeavour to judge for themselves of the translations given.
