Homer

Iliad Book XXIV

Herausgeber: Macleod, C. W.; Macleod, Colin W.

Beschreibung

The twenty-fourth book of the Iliad is one of the masterpieces of world literature, a work of interest to a far wider audience than scholars of ancient Greek. In his introduction Colin Macleod examines Homer's notion of poetry, his style and language and the architecture and meaning of his work.

Autor

Homer is both a shadowy figure and the generally acknowledged supreme genius of Western literature. No record of his life survives. Tradition places him some time in the 9th or 8th centuries BCE, and attributes to him Iliad, Odyssey, thirty-three Hymns, and a number of lesser works.
