Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its ancient incarnation as a song to recent translations in modern languages, Homeric epic remains an abiding source of inspiration for both scholars and artists that transcends temporal and linguistic boundaries. The Cambridge Guide to Homer examines the influence and meaning of Homeric poetry from its earliest form as ancient Greek song to its current status in world literature, presenting the information in a synthetic manner that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the different strands of Homeric studies. The volume is structured around three main themes: Homeric Song and Text; the Homeric World, and Homer in the World. Each section starts with a series of 'macropedia' essays arranged thematically that are accompanied by shorter complementary 'micropedia' articles. The Cambridge Guide to Homer thus traces the many routes taken by Homeric epic in the ancient world and its continuing relevance in different periods and cultures.

Book excerpt: This book takes a fresh look at a familiar element of the Homeric epics - the poetic catalogue.

Download or read book Homer s Trojan Theater written by Jenny Strauss Clay and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-10 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving away from the verbal and thematic repetitions that have dominated Homeric studies and exploiting the insights of cognitive psychology, this highly innovative and accessible study focuses on the visual poetics of the Iliad as the narrative is envisioned by the poet and rendered visible. It does so through a close analysis of the often-neglected 'Battle Books'. They here emerge as a coherently visualized narrative sequence rather than as a random series of combats, and this approach reveals, for instance, the significance of Sarpedon's attack on the Achaean Wall and Patroclus' path to destruction. In addition, Professor Strauss Clay suggests new ways of approaching ancient narratives: not only with one's ear, but also with one's eyes. She further argues that the loci system of mnemonics, usually attributed to Simonides, is already fully exploited by the Iliad poet to keep track of his cast of characters and to organize his narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spectacular and constantly surprising." -Ken Burns Written with the authority of a scholar and the vigor of a bestselling narrative historian, The War That Killed Achilles is a superb and utterly timely presentation of one of the timeless stories of Western civilization. As she did in The Endurance and The Bounty, New York Times bestselling author Caroline Alexander has taken apart a narrative we think we know and put it back together in a way that lets us see its true power. In the process, she reveals the intended theme of Homer's masterwork-the tragic lessons of war and its enduring devastation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Homeric Catalogue of Ships This book is an expansion of the article I contributed to the Journal of Hellenic Studies in 1910 called 'The Homeric Catalogue', in which I endeavoured to show, I believe practically for the first time, that the Catalogue of Ships gave a true picture of the geography and political position of the Heroic Age. An article of thirty pages could not do justice to the theme, and I now present my conclusions under a more substantial guise. The greater part of the book was delivered as a lecture in 1916, and again in 1919. When I came to publish it I thought that the reader would be benefited by having a text of the Catalogue to consult: to the text I added a selection of readings. What had been a lecture therefore became a commentary. As a result I find it necessary to say that my commentary is designed to serve the same purpose as my original paper, namely to prove the authenticity and age of the Catalogue. The commentary therefore is not exhaustive, in fact it only contains such information as serves the purpose of my publication, and by no means the whole stock of existing evidence upon for instance Boeotia or Thessaly. I cite excavations and travels only when they are necessary to prove my contention, and assume ordinary archeological knowledge, which, indeed, I should have difficulty in properly presenting over so wide an area.
