Excerpt from Handbook of Homeric Study

An apology can hardly be required for any effort, however feeble, towards lessening the difficulties of Homeric study and making it a little more intelligent. In his two-fold capacity of learner and teacher, the writer has found that at the very threshold of his task a student is confronted with a mass of complex problems which hardly grow less entangled as he proceeds. He cannot ignore them if he would, unless he be content with merely translating the poetry line by line; bis ordinary commentaries, handbooks of literature and history, his very dictionaries, teem with allusions to controversial topics, and may often contain statements which are mutually destructive, as well as over confident. In this matter of decisiveness there is a danger of defect, as well as of excess, and I can scarcely hope in my own pages to have steered successfully between the two extremes. On the one hand, it is less important for the beginner to have a cut and dried solution of his difficulties (even were this possible) than to feel their true inwardness, to recognise their mutual relations, and to grasp the lines by which he might hope at least to reach a tolerable solution of them.
