Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the origins and interrelation of the Iliad and Odyssey in an attempt to create a singular theory of composition. The author identifies echoes of an earlier, pre-Homeric age within the poems and argues that they are not the work of a single mind. Studying historical and literary evidence, the text traces the evolution of the epics from their possible roots in oral tradition. Through comparisons with other works and traditions, this book's detailed analysis sheds light on ethical purpose and social evolution in a formative period of Western literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
