The Cambridge Companion to Homer (Cambridge Companions to Literature) by Robert Fowler

Anyone who loves Homer should definitely read this book as a required followup.

However, the scholarly writers in the book should make a token effort at being more readable/accessible and less arcane and abstruse. After all their objective is to explain the material.

And yet, still, it is a must read.
