Homer and His Age

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book argues that the Homeric Epics collectively reflect a cohesive portrayal of a single age's life and civilization, disputing the notion that they are a compilation from various eras. It posits that any minor inconsistencies in the narrative are typical of cultural evolution rather than evidence of multiple authorship. The author suggests that early poets, operating without critical hindsight, would not strive for historical accuracy or "archaise" past customs, implying that the harmonious depiction in the epics indicates a unified origin from one epoch.
