Ἰλιάς

The Iliad

Ilias

Homer · Ὅμηρος

The Iliad in the original Ancient Greek, complete in 650 pages — all twenty-four books. The hexameter is set as verse, with the poem's own line breaks rather than reflowed as prose, and no English runs alongside it. Copy-text: Thomas W. Allen, Homeri Ilias, Oxford Classical Texts, 1931.

Set in Gentium Book Plus at 11pt over 1.74 leading, matching the Odyssey so the two sit together. Canonical line numbers every ten in the outer margin. The inside margin is opened to 1.25in, which is what 650 pages need if the first word of a line is not to fall into the gutter.
