Excerpt from Versione Letterale Dell' Iliade, Vol. 1: Parte I
Si di lui che niente altro contengono fuorchč bestemmie contro la cittą vostra, e quel ch'č peggio calunnie; ed all'opposto non vorrete ascoltare ifatti veri ch'io son per nąrrarvi, sol per questo ch'io nacqui molt'anni dopo d'omero Eppur suolsi dire che il tempo č l'ottimo giudice delle cose Pure gli uomini son cosģ fatti, che se parecchi anni dopo odo no narrarči una cosa altrimenti da quel che intesero appunto per questo l'hanno per fal.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an oration by Bione of Smyrna, known as the āIliacaā. The text contains a fascinating critique of Homerās Iliad, with Bione accusing the revered poet of lying and imprecision when recounting the events of the Trojan War. Bione takes a revisionist approach, arguing that Alexander and Helen were married and that the Greeks used this as a pretext for invasion. This work is significant in its challenge to the traditional telling of the Trojan War, and offers a fresh perspective on one of the foundational stories of Western literature.
