Opis

This anthology makes accessible to the reader sixteen of the most important studies of Homer and the Iliad to appear in the last forty years. The essays, by leading Homeric scholars from Great Britain, the United States, and Europe, deal not only with the aesthetics and artistry of the Iliad as a poetic artefact, but with its historical context, its cultural background, and its ethical and political framework.

Recenzje

Accessibility is the major boon of this book ... This is a good purchase for anyone studying or teaching the Iliad who has not got the resources of a good university library readily available.
