About this publication
This publication was adapted from the web edition published by eBooks@Adelaide (http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/h/homer/), which is part of the online ebook library of The University of Adelaide Library at the University of Adelaide in South Australia. That edition was rendered into HTML by Steve Thomas and were last updated in 2006 (The Iliad) and 2007 (The Odyssey). The epic poems of Homer in the web edition are reproduced in this compilation under a Creative Commons License, and ergo this publication falls under the same license. The English translations by Samuel Butler were first published in 1897 (The Iliad) and 1900 (The Odyssey), and today may be found at multiple websites throughout the Internet. The University of Adelaide Library is located on North Terrace in Adelaide, South Australia 5005, AUSTRALIA.
