The first few lines in the quantitative version actually line up with the Greek line-for line (the English lines are exactly the Greek lines) but it falls apart after a few because of enjambment and how the two languages work. But at first I was excited about that. (And in a nice touch it's all rendered as one sentence, as it is in Greek).

And the quantitative one is good! As a piece of quantitative poetry, which is rare in English. This could be a really helpful aid to the student.

The limericks aren't a translation; they're jokes about Homer. The texts don't align at all (obviously).

What did I mean by figuring out how to use it? Looking for it, downloading the app, signing up for an account, all that hassle. Now I'm more interested.

It does seem like one of those ten-hours-a-day-then-it's-nothing deals, but what ten hours!

Ed: ah, "inspired by". I thought this was gold:

"Though these limericks capture some elements of the Iliad, please note that they are simplified and do not fully convey the depth and complexity of the original epic poem."
