Inventing Homer

Viac o knihe

Exploring the ancient Greeks' perception of Homer, this book delves into myths surrounding his origins, life events, and connections to other poets. It investigates the reception of his works from the sixth to fourth centuries BC, while also linking these ancient views to modern interpretations and discussions about authorship and the 'Homeric Question.' Written in an engaging style, the book is accessible to a broad audience, including those without a background in classical studies, with all Greek quotations translated into English.
