I've not written enough, alas - it's the reason I was denied tenure last spring. But there's the Homer book, and also my dissertation, still looking for a publisher. It's on how Goethe read Homer. I also like to write poetry, but mostly comic verse.
As an aside, I tried reading Voyage to Arcturus, apparently an influence on the Inkling gang, but I couldn't finish it--total snoozefest, or it seemed so to me.

Homer seems to be most people's ideal. In my mind there haven't been any better works since in any language. I have only a very shaky grasp of Greek, and so as yet I've only been able to read them in translation, but I have vowed to learn Greek, if only to read Homer.
