Homer Works (Ομήρου Έπη) app for iPhone and iPad

Great application. It includes the original Homeric version plus the modern Greek translation of Nikoskazankis. To make this App a truly universal one, just as Homers Iliad and Odyssey rightly are, please add other modern language translations that are currently in the public domain. Some of these are: • English translation by Samuel Butler (London, 1888) • Spanish translation by Luis Segalá y Estalella (Barcelona, 1908) • French translation by P. Mazon (Paris, 1937) The Iliad and the Odyssey are undoubtedly the 2 epics that have defined a great portion of Western Civilization. Another portion was defines by the Bible. On this note, there is an App that I suggest you take a look at; it includes many translations of the Bible (Apps name: Holy Bible by Paul Avery).

Here you have the world famous epic poems in 5 (!) languages, even an Ancient Greek original version. For me as a linguist its just a perfect opportunity to compare 3 translations with the original. Would be even better to have Russian translation added, hope well see it some time (by some time I mean very soon :D) Once again: great job, great app!

This is a wonderful app. I love having Homer in my pocket wherever I go. The only thing I would wish for is a full concordance search for the original Greek (please!)

Πολύ καλή η προσπάθεια σου Περικλή, συγχαρητήρια. Μια παράκληση μόνο, δεν ξέρω αν και κατα το πόσο είναι εφικτή η προσαρμογή της εφαρμογής στην οθόνη 4ων ιντσών του καινούριου μοντέλου της Apple iPhone 5. Ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων και καλή συνέχεια σου εύχομαι.

I got this to study the Ancient Greek version, so thats the only part Im reviewing. This is woefully incomplete. Even very basic features are lacking, such as: * searching; * translation lookup; * interlinear translation; * highlighting/notes; * rapid navigation within a book--it takes a lot of scrolling to get to line 800, for example. Until this app becomes something more than a simple scrape of data from more suitable Web sites, it doesnt deserve more than one star.

This would be a better app if the Ads were not included. Immediately I am distracted from the text. And worst of all, their use illustrates a tital lack of respect for the work, the artists and the genre. One star is too much.
