Homer's Odyssey
The Story
Homer's Odyssey, Book 1 — Homeric Greek (Perseus AGDT) with Murray translation
Activate grammar modules in the left panel to learn Greek forms progressively. Blue = introduced, Gold = practicing, unmarked = testing or not yet studied.
You already have a translation and a grammatical tag for every word on the page. The job of the commentary is the one thing those can't do for you: show you how the Greek itself is put together . Why does this word come first? Where does the sentence end? How do you know what goes with what?
The single biggest difference between Greek and English is word order . English depends on order to tell you who is doing what to whom: the dog sees the man and the man sees the dog mean different things, and the difference is entirely in which word comes first. Greek doesn't work that way. A Greek word carries its job — subject, object, of -something, to -something — inside its own ending. The poet is then free to put the words in any order: for rhythm, for emphasis, for the sound it makes. That freedom is what these first lines will spend their time letting you get used to.
