Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed and comprehensive account of the epic poems of Homer, focusing on the way they have been interpreted throughout the ages and across different cultures. This book contextualizes Homer within the historical, literary and mythological traditions that were present at the time in which he wrote, which are now viewed as foundational to the development of Western Civilization. Themes of hospitality, loyalty, violence and the search for identity explored by Homer have remained central to the study of literature, language, and philosophy, and are explored in detail. The insights offered by this analysis prove invaluable, not only to scholars of the classics, but to anyone interested in poetry and the history of storytelling.
