Always great to see children showing interest. 12 is certainly old enough to read and comprehend Homer, but like others have said, context will definitely be key. Regularly discussing it with her will likely help to give her background information and also just help her to enjoy it more. As for illustrated editions, this one is gorgeous. I gave it to my nephews (all under 10), and almost wish I had just kept it for myself.
