Homer: The Resonance of Epic
ISBN: 9780715632826 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book offers a new approach to the study of Homeric epic by combining ancient Greek perceptions of Homer with up-to-date scholarship on traditional poetry. Part I argues that, in the archaic period, the Greeks saw the lliad and Odyssey neither as literary works in the modern sense nor as the products of oral poetry. Instead, they regarded them as belonging to a much wider history of the divine cosmos, whose structures and themes are reflected in the resonant patterns of Homer's traditional language and narrative techniques. Part II illustrates this claim by looking at some central...

Homer in the Twentieth Century: Between World Literature and the Western Canon
ISBN: 9780199298266 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This collection of essays explores the crucial place of Homer in the shifting cultural landscape of the twentieth century. It argues that Homer was viewed both as the founding father of the Western literary canon and as sharing important features with poems, performances, and traditions which were often deemed neither literary nor Western: the epics of Yugoslavia and sub-Saharan Africa, the keening performances of Irish women, the spontaneous inventiveness of the Blues. The book contributes to current debates about the nature of the Western literary canon, the evolving notion of world...

The sixth book of the Iliad includes some of the most memorable and best-loved episodes in the whole poem: it holds meaning and interest for many different people, not just students of ancient Greek.

It then follows Hector as he enters the city of Troy and meets the most important people in his life: his mother, Helen and Paris, and finally his wife and baby son. It is above all through the loving and fraught encounter between Hector and...

Homer
ISBN: 9780198788300 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Homer's mythological tales of war and homecoming, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are considered to be two of the most influential works in the history of Western literature.

By the 6th century BCE, Homer had already become a mythical figure, and even today the debate continues as to whether he ever existed.
In this accessible and concise introduction, Barbara Graziosi considers Homer's famous works and their impact on readers throughout the centuries. She shows how the Iliad and the...

Conflict and Consensus in Early Greek Hexameter Poetry
ISBN: 9781107175747 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Achilles inflicts countless agonies on the Achaeans, although he is supposed to be fighting on their side. Odysseus' return causes civil strife on Ithaca. The Iliad and the Odyssey depict conflict where consensus should reign, as do the other major poems of the early Greek hexameter tradition: Hesiod's Theogony and the Homeric Hymns describe divine clashes that unbalance the cosmos; Hesiod's Works and Days stems from a quarrel between brothers. These early Greek poems generated consensus among audiences: the reason why they reached us is that people agreed on their value. This volume,...
