### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Came dirty
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2022*

The pages are fine, but the book came with dried binding glue on all sides of the cover and the top of the pages stained. I had to spend a long time cleaning the glue off so it wouldn't get on my other textbooks.

    The Best of the Best of the Best
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2007*

Lombardo's translations of Homer are brilliant, energetic, and fun to read. While other translations are as dry and dusty as ancient Greek itself, Lombardo remarkably manages to bring it all to life, and reading both the Iliad and the Odyssey are as interesting and exciting as reading the most fascinating and lurid novel you've ever had in your hands.The best thing about this edition is that it has MAPS in the front, and NAME GLOSSARIES in the back (for both the Iliad and the Odyssey).  This edition is abridged, but I found that only long, tedious descriptions of preparations for battles seemed to be missing.This is the ideal student text.  (If you are looking for the best FULL edition ever, Lombardo's entire translations of the Iliad and Odyssey are also available.If I could give it six stars, I would.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great read for all time - fantastic translation that makes it like reading a modern book.
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2019*

This translation is amazing, it is in current terms and has been translated to read like a story. If you have ever seen the movie Troy with Brad Pitt it is like reading that movie. Much of that movie comes directly from Homers Iliad. I couldn’t put it down - I remember reading the odyssey when I was in school but it was definitely not translated to read like this.
