Durham, Donald Blythe. [Achilles Tatius, fl. 4th century BC]
Parody in Achilles Tatius.
Publisher: offprint, Classical Philology XXXIII: 1, January 1938.
19 p., 24 cm. "The casual reader of the Greek romances finds them for the most part... similar even to the point of monotony. Most of them present a beautiful, exceedingly virtuous heroine and a perfect hero... a closer examination reveals the fact that the characters of Achilles Tatius [Greek rhetorician; wrote the romance 'Leucippe and Cleitophon'] behave in strange ways... It is the belief of the present writer that... finding the idealism of his predecessors insipid he ridicules it by parody." Stapled without covers; corners soft, light soiling; good.

Euripides, 484-407 BC. Fitts, Dudley & Robert Fitzgerald, translators.
The Alcestis of Euripides. An English Version by Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald.
Publisher: N.Y., Harcourt, Brace [c1936].
5 p.l., 91 p., 1 l., 22 cm. The first collaboration of these talented translators. "Our object was to make the 'Alcestis' clear and credible in English. Since it is a poem, it had to be made clear as a poem; and since it is a play, it had to be made credible as a play. We set for ourselves no fixed rules of translation or of dramatic verse: often we found the best English equivalent in a literalness which extended to the texture and rhythm of the Greek phrasing; at other times we were forced to a more or less free paraphrase..."

The Odyssey. A New Verse Translation. Backgrounds. The Odyssey in Antiquity. Criticism.
Publisher: W. W. Norton, NY [c1974]. A Norton Critical Edition.
Translated and Edited by Albert Cook. xi, 516 p.; 21 cm. "This new translation of the Odyssey has been widely acclaimed by the critics for its faithfulness to Homers original. It attempts to render the poem not only literally, but line by line, so that almost always the expressions in a given line of Greek are those in the corresponding English line. It also adheres to the formulaic character of the poem that so many commentators stress today. Mr. Cook has accepted fully the modern understanding that the Homeric poems are oral (not written) compositions, and has reproduced the qualities of that oral style in English."

Margoliouth, D. S. (David Samuel), 1858-1940.
The Homer of Aristotle / D.S. Margoliouth.
Publisher: Mansfield Centre, CT : Martino, 2006..
x, 245, [1] p. front. (facsim). octavo. "In the opening chapters of this book, entitled 'The Cipher of Attic Tragedy' and 'The Homeric Cipher,? Prof. Margoliouth extends to Aeschylus, Sophocles and Homer the methods already applied by him to Euripides in 'Chronograms of the Euripidean Dramas' (1915). He believes that the tragedians hid away in the introductory iambics of each of their plays, firstly, their signature, secondly, the date of composition, thirdly, a dedication to Athena, and lastly, a warning to look for no further cryptic information after this point. Taking the iambics two lines at a time, he proceeds to rearrange the letters of which they consist into two new trimeters, which under more or less vigorous pressure yield a suggestion of the sense required. In the case of Homer the procedure is somewhat different, the anagrams-again in trimeters-being extracted from Iliad, 11. 1-7, and Odyssey, ll. 1-10, broken up into groups consisting of two consecutive letters from each line."Originally published: Oxford : Basil Blackwell,1923.
