Wace, F.B.A., Litt.D., perhaps did more than any other man since Schliemann to enlarge our knowledge of Mycenaean Greece, the heroic Greece of the Homeric epics. His work in classical archaeology covered many varied fields, and his knowledge of Greece ranged over mediaeval and modern times as well as the classical period. He was sometime Director of the British School at Athens and it is by his work as excavator of Mycenae, which he began in the 1920's, that he will always be best known. This Companion to Homer was first planned by Professor Wace shortly before the Second World War, while he was Laurence Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge. His own chapters in the book had been completed before his death, and the detailed plan of the whole had his approval. - Frank H. Stubbings, M.A., Ph.D., F.S.A., was educated at the Perse School and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he took a double first in Classics and was second Chancellor's Classical Medallist. Studentships for travel and archaeological research in Greece followed. He is now a Lecturer in Classics in the University of Cambridge and Fellow and Librarian of Emmanuel College. He has been associated with the Companion to Homer from the beginning, first as a contributor, later as assistant editor, and since Professor Wace's death has had the task of arranging the illustration of the work and seeing the whole through the press. He is the author of Mycenaean Pottery from the Levant (1951). Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Original cloth with dust jacket.…

Macmillan, London, 1962. XXIX,595p. ills. Original blue cloth. Spine gilt titled. Lacking dust wrps. 'This volume falls into two parts, literary and then archaeological. An introductory chapter by the late J.A.K. Thomson on Homer and his influence is Victorian in its literary approach but useful for its brief survey of Homeric echoes in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. There follow three chapters by Sir Maurice Bowra: two short ones on metre and style, and a long one on composition. (.) 'Composition' takes a broad look at the plot and construction of both poems, and is one of the most interesting chapters of the whole volume. (.) The next chapter, on the language of Homer, is by L.R. Palmer, and is a short book in itself. (.) Intended as a Homeric supplement to an Attic grammar, it goes somewhat farther than that, perhaps to the detriment of clarity. (.) The second main part opens with a geographical survey by N.G.L. Hammond - a thorough piece of work which goes well beyond the immediate reference of Homer. Helen Thomas and the editor (Stubbings) follow with a chapter on Homeric lands and peoples which I found clear and useful, except perhaps in its treatment of the antiquity of the Catalogue of Ships itself (.). The pages on the rediscovery of the Homeric world (.) are among the most useful in the book, especially in the surveys of Troy, Mycenae, Ithaca, and Pylos. (.) The chapters on social culture are less satisfactory. (.) Most of us can learn from the new venture. If it omits much that some would expect to find, it also contains much that will be of value to all.' (G.S. KIRK in The Classical Review (New Series), 1963, pp.133-36).…
