Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to challenge the very foundations of our knowledge of ancient history by closely examining the notion that a Trojan War ever occurred. The author examines Homer's Iliad and other writings, setting the story within its historical and literary context. The book argues that by unpicking the detail of the characters and settings in this epic poem, it becomes apparent that the story is not only deeply allegorical but likely a complete fabrication, invented to illustrate the power struggles between rulers and their subjects. The book discusses with rigour and insight the major figures of the Trojan War, Homer's attitudes to them and how these reveal insights into what he really believed, and aimed to convey about his own time and place. This book explores the very nature of history and legend, truth and falsehood, revealing the insights to be found by asking the right questions about the sources we have inherited about the ancient 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 9780282850975_0
