Synopsis
Explore how scholars question the origins of Homeric poetry and its transmission.
This book surveys ancient Greek writing, the shift from oral to written tradition, and the clues offered by painted vases. It weighs competing views about Homer, the Tragics, and the role of rhapsodic practice in shaping our texts. The discussion stays focused on evidence and careful interpretation, inviting fair debate rather than dogma.
- Discover how early Greeks used writing for inscriptions and records, and what that means for literature.
- See how vase imagery and sculpture influence ideas of myth, warfare gear, and city fortifications.
- Explore why later editors and performers may have altered words or phrases in epic lines.
- Examine how critics compare Homeric language with later authors to trace development and transmission.
Ideal for readers curious about ancient Greece, Homer, and the origins of epic poetry.

On Post-Epic, or Imitative Words in Homer (Classic Reprint)

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the widely accepted belief that the Iliad and Odyssey were composed by the poet Homer around 800 BCE. The author provides evidence to suggest that the epics were instead likely compiled and edited much later, possibly around 400 BCE. This theory is based on an examination of the language and vocabulary of the poems, which the author argues contains significant anachronisms and inconsistencies that point to a later date of composition. By comparing the texts of the Iliad and Odyssey with other Greek literature from the same period, the author demonstrates that these epics incorporated elements from a rich oral tradition that existed long before they were written down. This in-depth and meticulously researched book sheds new light on the origins and evolution of these foundational works of Western literature, revealing the dynamic and collaborative nature of the ancient Greek literary tradition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
