Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-26 00:00:00 Fern Fladell Worth having if you want to study what Williams is doing. The poetry of Williams is dense and difficult. King explores it all convincingly well.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-24 00:00:00 Brian Benjamin Great book to read as a companion to either Homeric Epics, but especially the Odyssey. A bit on the technical side throughout, but not overwhelmingly or off puttingly so. The topics discussed range from archeology, the changes in ship design in the bronze and archaic ages, etymology, geography and ethnography. Peppered throughout are summations of existing scholarly opinions in these fields and the author does a good job of addressing them in an even handed fashion. A very good read!
