If you've never studied Greek before, start here. We'll cover the alphabet, pronunciation, basic meter, and start on some simple phrases so you can 'taste' the language and poetry. There's a HUGE number of Proper Nouns in the epics--think Achilles or Sparta. The moment you can sound things out phonetically, you know them and can read them--easy win! Most Names have 'extras' attached ('epithets')--think "Cloud-Gathering Zeus." Fun, fast to learn, and a great way to start learning vocabulary.
