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.
