A collection of 26 international papers which consider the influence of Homeric epic on Roman and modern literature.

Other papers present broader analyses of stylistic characteristics of ancient epic and place it within a cultural context. Contributors also examine Virgil's contribution to the genre and more recent works such as Joyce's Ulysses and Erich Auerbach's Mimesis . This is a scholarly work, not aimed at the casual reader, sprinkled with Greek extracts, some of which are translated. Fourteen essays are in English, eleven in German and one in French.
