Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a significant discovery from the end of the 19th century. The marble relief, known as the 'Apotheosis of Homer', dates back to the 3rd century BC. It depicts the Muses and Apollo in a rocky landscape, with Homer seated in the middle. The author argues that the relief was created by an artist from the Rhodian school, led by Apollonius of Rhodes, and was originally dedicated in a temple on the island of Rhodes. Detailed analysis of the relief, its style, subject matter, and iconography, provide an understanding of the artistic, historical, and cultural context in which it was produced. The book also delves into the significance of the Homeric cult in the Hellenistic period and explores the relationship between the relief and literary texts of the time. This unique and insightful study of the 'Apotheosis of Homer' sheds light on the artistic production, cultural practices, and literary landscape of the Hellenistic world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282223502_0
