Absolutely wonderful to see fifty copies of our unique Vulgate New Testament Reader being used by tenth and eleventh graders in this New Hampshire school! We worked tirelessly adding macrons, glossing, and parsing difficult forms.

This is a Greek reader's edition of the Odyssey. It is designed as a practical and affordable tool for two audiences: students who have completed roughly a year of Classical Greek and are ready to begin reading a sustained primary text, and scholars or interested readers who wish to refresh their Greek in an accessible format. Its aim is to immerse the learner in the Greek of the Odyssey as quickly as possible, helping to build confidence in moving from isolated sentences to continuous narrative.

The transition from elementary exercises to reading extended passages is often steep and discouraging. To ease this shift, the reader provides generous glosses: every word occurring twenty‑five times or fewer in Homer (both Iliad and Odyssey) is glossed in the footnotes. This allows students with a modest vocabulary base to keep reading without constant interruption, while still reinforcing the most common Homeric forms.

The result is a volume that complements standard grammars and is especially well suited to beginner and intermediate readers of Classical Greek. Advanced readers, too, will appreciate the convenience of having rare vocabulary glossed at the point of need, making the text quicker and more enjoyable to navigate.

Other features include:

• Introductions to Homer, the Odyssey, and Homeric Greek
• Map of Odysseus’ voyage in Greek
• Paradigm charts of noun and verbs
• Glossary of all the words not glossed below the text
• Wide margins

These lightweight volumes are ideal for reading at the beach, like here in the stadium seats of the Caesarea's Roman Circus (Hippodrome) mentioned by Josephus and visited by St Paul!

Every rare word is glossed once per page to reduce page count unlike the ugly tomes out there.

• Full paradigm charts
• Biblical maps in Greek
• Introduction to the Septuagint
• Individual volumes

Line up the books to reveal hidden spine art!
