Excerpt from Selections From Homer's Iliad: With an Introduction, Notes, a Short Homeric Grammar, and a Vocabulary
Very unusual words - chiefly such as are found only once in the text of Homer - are defined in foot-notes. This principle has naturally not been extended to all proper names that occur but once; these are mentioned in the foot-notes only in rare and special instances, chiefly when a difficulty about understanding or interpreting the name would confront the inexperienced student. Some times, too, in the case of compound words or of simple words that are common in Attic Greek, the foot-notes sug gest rather than define the meanings. It is believed that these devices, which are novel in a work of this nature, will wisely save time for the student. The quantities of long vowels (a, I, and ii) have been marked in the Gram mar and in the Vocabulary.
