Introductions to the Study of the Greek Classic Poets: Designed Principally for the Use of Young Persons at School and College (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book considers the origin and preservation of the Iliad and the Odyssey. In the late 17th century, the French suggested that one or both great Greek epics may not have been entirely composed by Homer or indeed by any one person but rather compiled by successive editors using themes and styles found in earlier or contemporary heroic poems and tales. The author explores this theory, its implications, and its place within the broader historical and literary contexts. The book examines whether the poems attributed to Homer are his, or whether Homer was one or many poets, and what distinguishes the Homeric poetry from other works. The author believes the quality of the poems would remain the same and be as worthy of study, regardless of their actual author(s). Ultimately, this book presents a fascinating look at the authorship, history, and nature of some of the world's most enduring literature. Whether or not one accepts the theory of collaborative or single authorship, the Iliad and the Odyssey remain foundational texts in our understanding of Western thought and culture.
