This book offers students of Greek and scholars interested in Greek literature the first English-language commentary on the “Battle of Frogs and Mice”, a short animal epic ascribed to Homer in the ancient world. The book includes a contextualizing introduction covering issues of literary genre, literary history and the language of Homeric Greek. In addition to a revised Greek text, the volume also offers a new translation of the poem.

Recensioner i media

The publication of a commentary in English will certainly help to excite wider interest in this fascinating and enjoyable survival of Homeric parody … The authors’ enthusiasm for the poem is clear, and their comments will encourage new readers to think about its parodic techniques and to make their own further explorations.
