[quote=Anonymous]Well, have you taught your daughter Ancient Greek? I honestly don't think you get the real "feel" of Homer in English. Your daughter needs to study Ancient Greek history and the language itself to truly "get" Homer. The culture and mentality of Ancient Greeks is so old and so far removed from what we know today that the translation just doesn't communicate the feel of the text and the story. I mean, really teach her Ancient Greek. She needs to move beyond those stupid Athenaze texts, with their dippy stories of Dikaiopolis and his wife Myrrhine and their daughter and dog, or whatever. She probably never will, but that's what it would take for her to "get" Homer. [/quote]
