Butler's prose translations of 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey' remain in use to this day.
Butler's translation of 'The Iliad' was originally published in London by Longmans, Green, in 1898. His translation of 'The Odyssey' was also published by Longmans, Green, in 1902.
In this edition, each epic is accompanied by a preface by Butler and a list of Principal Personages in the work.
