Présentation de l'éditeur
An Epic is not made by piecing together a series of heroic lays, adjusting their discrepancies and making them into a continuous narrative. There is only one thing which can master the perplexed stuff of epic material into unity; and that is an ability to see in particular human experience some significant symbolism of mans general destiny. We do not appreciate what Homer did for his time, and is still doing for the world, unless we see the warfare and the adventure as symbols of the primary courage of life. And it is not his morals, but Homer sart that does that for us. Lascelles A bercrombie, The Epic. Much certainly, probably most, of what is suspected as copying by a later hand is deliberate and original; like the recurrence, with subtle variations, of the patterned figures in a tapestry or the carved figures in a processional frieze. For the genius of the epic this kind of repetition was an essential element in design. J. W. Mackail, Lectures on Greek Poetry.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the Iliad, a classic epic poem attributed to Homer, through the lens of its intricate narrative structure and the rich tapestry of themes woven within. The author explores how Homer masterfully crafts a cohesive and symmetrical design, using repetition, interconnected episodes, and a series of contrasting panels to drive home the story's central message. The Iliad is positioned as a seminal work in Western literature, and the author delves into the timeless themes of heroism, honor, and the inevitable tragedy of war that resonate deeply within its verses. Through a close examination of pivotal scenes, such as the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles, the author uncovers the profound insights the poem offers into human nature and the complexities of the human condition. Ultimately, this book provides a fresh perspective on the Iliad, showcasing its enduring relevance and the enduring genius of its creator.
