There is /r/latin which, while not dedicated to Greek, should have enough general classicists to help you along.

Those are the two texts I used when I studied Homer. We also used a parsed interlinear text. Here's Book 1. I don't know where the rest of it is. I'm not familiar with either of the books you mention. I had a fairly thorough introduction to Attic Greek before taking Homer and have a strong Latin background so I can't really say what wading straight into Homer will be like for you.

I just glanced at Pharr on the amazon preview. It looks fairly dense with a lot of page flipping to the back. It looks like text and vocabulary are in the chapter with references to the back for the grammar. It's going to require a lot of patience. There's really no easy way into Greek, but Homer in the original is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read so it will certainly be far more rewarding than it is punishing.

Good luck.
