Odyssey: Learn Ancient Greek

Read the Odyssey as Homer composed it: in Ancient Greek, line by line, with the English at your side.

This is a guided edition of the complete poem. All twenty-four books, nothing cut. Tap any line for a clear translation and a word-by-word gloss; tap any word for its form and its job in the line. The grammar is taught from the poem itself, not from a textbook.

Every line is read aloud. Follow the voice word by word, or let the whole book play while you listen. When you are ready, say a line back and your reading is scored on your device, and nothing you say leaves it.

The metre is here too. Scan a line into its six feet, see the dactyls and spondees, and hear where the line breathes.

You don't need any Greek to begin. A guided course takes you from the alphabet to reading Homer on your own, with a reader's grammar written for this book and quiet daily review of the words you save.
