A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is the third volume in the major six-volume Commentary on Homer's Iliad prepared under the General Editorship of Professor G. S. Kirk. It opens with two introductory chapters: the first on Homeric diction (on which emphasis is maintained throughout the Commentary); the second on the contributions that comparative studies have made to seeing the Homeric epics in sharper perspective. In the commentary Dr Hainsworth confronts in an intentionally even-handed manner the serious problems posed by the ninth, tenth and twelfth books of The Iliad, seeking by means of a succinct discussion and a brief bibliography of recent contributions to furnish the user with a point of entry into the often voluminous scholarship devoted to these questions. The Greek text is not included.

Revue de presse

"...a welcome contribution to Homeric studies, and the series as a whole should remain a basic research tool well into the next century....remains a very useful book and an absolute 'must buy'...." S. Douglas Olson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
