39 of 39 people found the following review helpful. Invaluable for Classicists By D. B. Killings Like all Loeb Classics, this edition is presented with the ancient greek text on the left page, and its english translation on the right, giving students of classical greek an easy cross-reference. The translations are easy to read and not too difficult to comprehend, while still at the same time accurately rendered (unlike many Loeb translations, which are frequently too literal a translation to be readable).But what makes this book of keen interest is not the attention paid to Hesiod's Theogony and Works & Days, nor the anonymous "Homeric" Hymns, but rather to its meticulous compedium of the lesser-known works it presents. Especially, for those works for which no complete version has survived, only fragments and occassional (later) commentaries.In this volume you discover a wonderful epic poem called The Catalogue of Women and Eoie, of which only about half survives scattered among a hundred or so fragments. You also discover The Shield of Hercules, which some attribute to Hesiod. But most fascinating of all are the fragments of the Epic Cycle, poems written as a sort of "history" of the Greek people, of which the two great works by Homer (The Iliad and The Odyssey) were the most well-known and the only ones to survive intact. As far as I know, this is the only volume in english which gathers all of these fragments together and attempts to sort them out in some kind of order; for those interested in the ancient epics, this alone makes the edition worth the price.This book is a sobering reminder of just how much has been lost over the centuries, of just how little actually has survived. Sadly, this is now probably the closest anyone will ever get to being able to read The Cypriad or The Melampodia again, and that's a shame.

By A Customer Sometimes when consulting the Loeb Library for a translation of a greek text one finds a version wildly different than the original. This volume of the Loeb niether betrays the text, nor translates with arcane vocabulary (e.g. thou, thee, etc.). All in all, a very useful tool.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great text, but a poor look to the page... By Demetria Nanos This paperback edition is printed in a font so small as to make reading a chore and aggravating, rather than the pleasure that reading truly is. The text is excellent, as one would expect of a (former?) Loeb edition, but even a young person needs a magnifying glass or to hold it close to the face to read. I would rather pay more money and be able to read the book more easily. I regret buying this edition and should have hunted out an older one that has a bit larger type. There is no splash page with publisher's info, ISBN, font type, where printed, etc. It is a good value for the price, but an edition I do not recommend to anyone with eyeglasses or anyone who needs better information for citations..
