Passport to the Wine Dark Sea,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Documents in Mycenaean Greek (Hardcover)
If you really want to travel Homer's Wine Dark Sea (or the Bloodshot Sea - that probably is what Homer meant), you need both volumes of Documents in Mycenaean Greek. Volume I originally was published in 1956, somewhat corrected in 1959. Volume II came out in 1973. It adds substantially to Volume I. Cambridge University published both volumes together as the Second Edition in 1973.I tell you this because booksellers do not always understand, and you might order the "Second Edition," but only get one of the volumes. I have it on the excellent authority of Dr. Rupert Thompson of Selwin College, Cambridge, that Cambridge will not publish the Third Edition for several years at least. So, you need both existing volumes if you want to learn the language of Achilles and Odysseus, if you really want to know about the Trojan War and the Greek Bronze Age.
