First published in the outstanding and long-running 'red Macmillan' series in 1948 and revised in 1958 and 1962 (with, for example, a new section on Mycenaean Greek in relation to Homer), this second volume on the Odyssey has remained the standard edition used by upper school and university students to guide their early reading of the epic.

The introduction covers many of the questions that lie behind the poem and includes a useful summary of Homeric grammar. The text is elucidated with full annotations, indexes, and bibliography.
