Book Description | 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.
