Synopsis
This book examines the origins and interrelation of the Iliad and Odyssey in an attempt to create a singular theory of composition. The author identifies echoes of an earlier, pre-Homeric age within the poems and argues that they are not the work of a single mind. Studying historical and literary evidence, the text traces the evolution of the epics from their possible roots in oral tradition. Through comparisons with other works and traditions, this book's detailed analysis sheds light on ethical purpose and social evolution in a formative period of Western literature.
