O knihe

Excerpt from Weissenborn's Homeric Life: Translated and Adapted to the Needs of American Students

A select bibliography has been added, which we hope will prove a valuable feature of the work.

We are aware that absolute consistency in the ren dering of Greek names is, as yet, an impossibility. As a rule, the Latin form has been given when such exists, but in a few cases unfamiliar names are mere ly transliterated. Our purpose has been to avoid all strange and uncouth forms by giving those current in English literature.

In referring to Homer we have adopted the com mon method of using Greek capitals for the books of the Iliad, and small letters for those of the Odyssey.

We would here express our thanks to Professor Weissenborn, of the Gymnasium at Muhlhausen, for his generous permission to use freely his excellent little volume.

Acknowledgment is due to Professor Thomas Car ter and Dr. B. M. Drake, of Vanderbilt University, for their careful reading of the proof.

TO the editors of the Vanderbilt Oriental Series, Professors H. C. Tolman and J. H. Stevenson, we are greatly indebted for many valuable suggestions and criticisms.
