I heard your translation of Homer on NPR recently and was impressed by the clarity and readability of your language. I am an English teacher in Connecticut and am always trying to introduce students to more Homer. (Waterford, CT)

I have read the first chapter of your translation of The Iliad...and was so pleased that I will be ordering this as well your version of The Odyssey.  I have a copy of the Iliad translated by Samuel Butler, which I attempted to read for the first time after my 8 year old son read Mary Pope Osborne's rendition of The Odyssey, but I did not have the same success he had. I think I'll be more successful with your translation. (Toronto)

Thank you very much for the modern translation of the Iliad of Homer. I am enjoying it very much. I learned of your translation of the Iliad from NPR. I found it on the web and after reading a few lines was immediately convinced that it offered a far better introduction to the text than any of the other translations that I've read. Thank you both for the work you've done in making the translation. Let me congratulate you for this very practical possibility, of outstanding quality. (Saarbrucken)

Your translation is so much easier to understand than any other publication available. Even what we have read online has helped my son who is encountering this epic for his first time ever as a high school freshman.

Your translation of "The Iliad" is quite remarkable. It has power that I have not seen in previous translations. Thank you for this work. I look forward to adding it and your translation of "The Odyssey" to my library. (Ann Arbor)
