Homer: The Iliad: Classical World

Autor Homer: The Iliad William Allan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iul 2012
This book offers a clear and stimulating introduction to Homer's Iliad, the greatest poem of Western culture. It discusses central aspects of the work (including the tradition of oral poetry, the style and structure of the epic, and its depiction of the gods, heroism, war, and gender roles) and guides the reader in understanding the skill and profundity of Homer's achievement. This introduction is ideal for undergraduates and students in the upper forms of schools, but it requires no knowledge of ancient Greek and is intended for all readers interested in Homer.

The Classical World series is well established and explores the culture and achievements of the civilizations of Greece and Rome. Concise yet informative and stimulating, each book includes illustrations and suggestions for further reading and study. Designed specifically for students and teachers of Classical Civilization at late school and early university level, the series provides an up-to-date collection of accessible guides to the history, institutions, literature, art and values of the Classical world.

Recenzii

The book discusses most of the questions that regularly arise when teaching the Iliad, supporting clear and engaging interpretative statements with relevant examples. The unpretentious and direct style makes the book welcoming to students, and even advanced readers will find insights that are new to them. ... The book as a whole contains many beautifully stated insights, where a fundamental and correct point is made in language that is very clear.
