A website called sparknotes.com offers free pdf guides to Homer's The Odyssey and The Iliad.

To be honest, I don't know very much about the site. I do know that they provide free online guides to various fiction and non-fiction works. Those guides are basically just like Cliffs Notes, I think, which most of us are familiar with. I also know that the site is owned by Barnes & Noble.

B&N sells these guides. Amazon also has them, in paperback; they are $5.95 each there.

The ratings at Amazon and GoodReads for both of the books are great.

Each of the books has about 55 pages.

Here are the links to the two ebooks:
The Iliad.
The Odyssey.

Merry Christmas to all.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you, too.

Sparknotes (described here, at Wikipedia) is a highly reputable site and product line.
