Who knows this rare bard, the late poet Homer? A team of dedicated classicists at Northwestern University know him quite well and this project offers ample evidence of their abilities. Project editors Ahuvia Kahane and Martin Mueller have worked with others to create a multilayered database of works including the Iliad and the Odyssey in four separate erudite translations. Clicking on the Enter button will give visitors entry to the translations where they can read the original ancient Greek alongside several translations. It's worth noting that visitors can also search around at their leisure for specific passages. Additionally, visitors can use the Corrections area to offer their own thoughts on the errors and bugs that they might catch during their own close reading. [KMG]
