Download or read book Reflections on the Trojan War written by Art Aeon and published by Aeon Press, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. This book was released on 2018-10-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections on the Trojan War: Confessions of Sacred Human Conscience is a fictional narrative poem in tercet stanzas. It unfolds the imaginary dialogues between the character Homer-Outis, the legendary ancient Greek author of the Odyssey, and the character Odysseus, the protagonist of the Odyssey, about the actual human causes of the enigmatic and tragic Trojan War (rather than its mythical attributions to the ungodly emotions of the Olympian goddesses and gods) in a numinous dream of the great epic poet. It consists of two parts: Book 3: Regrets of Nestor and Odysseus Book 4: Final Revelations of Helen "Reflections on the Trojan War: Confessions of Sacred Human Conscience" is a sequel to "Odysseus and Penelope: Following the Odyssey of Homer." They are the beginning and the middle parts of an imaginary narrative poem: An Odyssey into One's Own Sacred Conscience. [A] Book 3: "Regrets of Nestor and Odysseus" is a sequel to Book 2: "Exile of Odysseus with Penelope" in the preceding narrative poem; "Odysseus and Penelope: Following the Odyssey of Homer." It unfolds imaginary dialogues among the characters, Nestor, Odysseus, and Penelope about (1) the plausible human causes of the Trojan War; (2) what happened during its first nine years; and (3) how Troy was actually sacked in the final tenth year of the War. [B] Book 4: "Final Revelations of Helen" is concerned with the following questions: (4) Why did Paris take a long voyage in a single ship from Troy to Achaea? (5) How did he meet with Helen, residing at Helos, a remote seaport in Sparta? (6) Why did Menelaus allow the alleged abduction of his wife Helen by a friendly foreign visitor Paris (who did not invade Helos with Trojan armada to abduct her)? (7) If Helen did elope with Paris to Troy, what were the actual reasons which impelled her to take such a dangerous, bold, and disgraceful action? The present fictional work attempts to look into the plausible human causes of the Trojan War behind the mythological veils of supernatural, inane, and absurd fables on the ungodly emotions of the Olympian goddesses and gods, conjured up by witless minstrels.

Book excerpt: For many centuries the Trojan War occupies minds and thoughts of many great writers and scientists all around the world. Whether there is any historical reality behind it or it is just a legend, the war is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has been narrated through many works of Greek literature. The most notable works about the Trojan War are Homer's Iliad and Odyssey which describe a period of four days and two nights in the tenth year of the decade-long siege of Troy, and the journey home of Odysseus, one of the war's heroes. Other parts of the war are described in a cycle of epic poems, which have survived through fragments. Episodes from the war provided material for Greek tragedy and other works of Greek literature, and for Roman poets including Virgil and Ovid. This book, The Trojan War, is an excellent starting point for anyone curious about this great story. It presents all the main charters and events described in many works of Greek literature. Not only is this book the key that opens the doors to the world of Greek literature and mythology to those who wish to explore it in depth but it also provides more than enough fascinating facts and information about one of the most notable conflicts in history.
Download or read book The Trojan Epic written by Quintus of Smyrna and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed in the third century A.D., the Trojan Epic is the earliest surviving literary evidence for many of the traditions of the Trojan War passed down from ancient Greece. Also known as the Posthomerica, or "sequel to Homer," the Trojan Epic chronicles the course of the war after the burial of Troy's greatest hero, Hektor. Quintus, believed to have been an educated Greek living in Roman Asia Minor, included some of the war's most legendary events: the death of Achilles, the Trojan Horse, and the destruction of Troy. But because Quintus deliberately imitated Homer's language and style, his work has been dismissed by many scholars as pastiche. A vivid and entertaining story in its own right, the Trojan Epic is also particularly significant for what it reveals about its sources—the much older, now lost Greek epics about the Trojan War known collectively as the Epic Cycle. Written in the Homeric era, these poems recounted events not included in the Iliad or the Odyssey. As Alan James makes clear in this vibrant and faithful new translation, Quintus's work deserves attention for its literary-historical importance and its narrative power. James's line-by-line verse translation in English reveals the original as an exciting and eloquent tale of gods and heroes, bravery and cunning, hubris and brutality. James includes a substantial introduction which places the work in its literary and historical context, a detailed and annotated book-by-book summary of the epic, a commentary dealing mainly with sources, and an explanatory index of proper names. Brilliantly revitalized by James, the Trojan Epic will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in Greek mythology and the legend of Troy.
