Education: Apparently Mine is Weak
{ Life }
September 8, 2006
I just called my mom to talk to her about various translations of Homer. I’m lucky in that I have a mother who can spout off the merits of each translation.
I feel uneducated, however, that when I mentioned what I thought to be an obscure trifle I had tripped upon in an academic introduction to Homer was well known to her: Homeric Epithets.
Do you know of the epithets of Homer?

PSU offers a course in ancient greek if you want to go to the source.
Also, HDF Kitto’s ‘The Greeks’ is a very good read about ancient Greece.
