Those who are able to read Homer in Greek have ample recourse to commentaries, but the vast majority who read the Iliad in translation have not been so well served—the many available translations contain few, if any, notes. For these readers, Malcolm M. Willcock provides a line-by-line commentary that explains the many factual details, mythological allusions, and Homeric conventions that a student or general reader could not be expected to bring to an initial encounter with The Iliad.
In this book, you will have an opportunity to investigate a special kind of writing that is particularly useful in your everyday life, at home and at work.

3. A familiarity with the conventions readers have come to expect when reading letters.
You have already had a lot of practice with the first two skills.
The only one left to master is the conventions (arrangement of details) within the letter.

Ancient Greek Scholarship: A Guide to Finding, Reading...
Ancient greek scholarship constitutes a precious resource for classicists, but one that is underutilized because graduate students and even mature scholars lack familiarity with its conventions.
Study of the rhetorical codes and conventions in terms of which debates were conducted is currently a major area of historical and literary enquiry, and Peter Mack’s Elizabethan Rhetoric provides a wealth of new information about what was taught and how these conventions were exploited in a range of Elizabethan prose texts, personal memoranda, court depositions, sermons and political and religious pamphlets. This important book will be invaluable for all those interested in the culture, literature and political history of the period.
