Remarks on Prof. Mahaffy's Account of the Rise and Progress of Epic Poetry: In His History of Classical Greek Literature (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Rethinking Homer: a push to reexamine the origins of epic poetry and the Cyclic tradition
This nonfiction work challenges long-held views about the Iliad and Odyssey. It argues that the great epics were shaped by editors and earlier narratives, not simply copied from a single original source. The author surveys classical evidence, from Plato to the tragedians, to reframe how we understand epic poetry’s history.
- Learn how ancient poets and editors may have reshaped myths from older cycles.
- See how the Cyclic poems relate to Homer, and why this changes how we read the epics.
- Explore the role of tragedy, philosophy, and Greek criticism in shaping Homeric fame.
