About this title

Synopsis

Readers new to ancient epic are hampered in two ways: they do not know the ancient languages, and they are unfamiliar with the ancient world. This survey addresses the needs of these readers by offering guidance through the major classical writers of epic: it begins with Homer and concludes with an overview of the development of late ancient epic and of the interface between the epic and the novel.

About the Author

Peter Toohey is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Classics at the University of New England, Australia.
