They are statements confirmed by no other evidence of the least value. They are, in a word, put forward, as far as the theory of an early written text is concerned, to account for the otherwise almost impossible preservation of poems of great length, unmixed with the other matter which, as I have said, we know to have existed and to have been accepted as Homer before the age of Plato.

Excerpt from Remarks on Prof. Mahaffy's Account of the Rise and Progress of Epic Poetry: In His History of Classical Greek Literature
The reviews and literary notices of my several pamphlets on the probably late date of large portion of the Homeric texts, and on the different "Homer" of the age of Pericles, have brought out one fact but too clearly, - that these are questions to which not many at the present day devote an amount of serious and unbiased attention at all in proportion to their importance in relation to classical learning. It is pretty evident, indeed, that there are some - I will not say scholars - who would strangle the inquiry by laughing it down. There seem to be many who cannot, and not a few who will not comprehend the gravity of the points at issue. They have persuaded themselves that a few verses interpolated here and there by rhapsodists will account for all or any anomalies in the Homeric language and versification, a very serious error in itself. Some appear even to have thought that I regarded the Iliad and the Odyssey as composed only a little before the age of Plato, whereas I have always said compiled, meaning, of course, adapted, rearranged from older materials, and epitomized, leaving it an open question, as it must be, how much is really genuine, and how much altered or added. Most seem content to think that Colonel Mure, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Grote have settled the question in favour of the great antiquity of Homer, more or less nearly as we now have it. It is considered that these authors speak with peculiar authority on a subject which they have made especially their own, and that it is little better than impertinence in any one to presume to call in question their conclusions.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the literary history of the Homeric epics, specifically the Iliad and the Odyssey. The author presents evidence that the traditional view of the epics having been composed by Homer around 850 B.C. is incorrect and that they are in fact a compilation of texts from different authors and periods, with the final assembly of the texts as we know them occurring much later. The author uses philological analysis of the texts themselves, as well as historical and archaeological data, to construct a complex picture of the development of these epic poems over time, arguing that the epics we associate with Homer are in fact the product of a long process of evolution and adaptation. The author presents a compelling case that our understanding of these foundational works of Western literature must be revised. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331725220_0
