This is the second instalment of a three-volume presentation in English of a commentary on Homer's "Odyssey", compiled by an international team of scholars. Introductions pay special attention to diction in the "Odyssey", and the tradition of epic diction in general. In the second volume, the commentaries by Heubeck (Books IX-XII) and Hoekstra (Books XIII-XVI) are both preceded by introductions, with Hoekstra paying special attention to diction in the Odyssey and the tradition of epic diction in general. The introductions and commentary have been thoroughly revised and adapted to the text of T. W. Allen in the Oxford Classical Text series.
