Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains 16 articles covering Homeric studies, published in the journal Greece and Rome Studies during the last 25 years. The contributors include some of the best-known scholars in the field. Social values, archaeology, translation, survivals, and, beyond all else, literary quality and compositional technique form the major topics under review. A new introduction by Richard Rutherford sets these articles, the majority of which have been updated by their authors, in the context of recent developments in Homeric scholarship and appreciation.
