My edition of "the Best of the Achaeans" is 1986 (reprint), so I'm guessing it's not the new edition - I didn't know there was one. It has the transliterations in boldface, too, yes.

Thanks for the tip re: Lawrence's translation of the Odyssey. I have occasionally tried stumbling through Homer's original, but having learnt mainly Koine Greek, I soon found myself lost! Perhaps I'll try it again with Lawrence as a crib.
