A brilliant and warm, easily accessible and classically correct introduction to—or review of—what has been called, variously, the first novel or the first comedy. Sir Michael Hordern, dressed as Homer, speaks the beautifully translated text, sometimes facing the camera as the bard reciting his epic, most often as the narrator of the wonderful illustrations that heighten comprehension of the action as well as of those poetic touches, like the wine-dark sea, that characterize Homer. The six programs cover all the main episodes; each is 15 minutes long.
