Successfully integrating elegance and a close fidelity to the
Greek, these new translations aim to provide Greekless students
with as close a sense as possible of how the Greeks themselves
thought and wrote about the world. Miller's skillful introduction
places the works in historical context and briefly describes the
different metrical forms represented in the selections. Headnotes
to each section highlight the background of the poet whose works
follows. Complete with a glossary of names and a select
bibliography.
