This unique approach to the Iliad and the Odyssey explores the role and function of Hades as a poetic environment in which traditional exposition of heroic values may be subverted in favour of a more personally inflected approach to the epic past, giving rise to a different kind of poetics: the 'poetics of Hades'.

Originally from Cephalonia, a stone's throw from modern day Ithaca, George Alexander Gazis was raised in Athens and studied for his BA in Classics and Ancient History and his MA in Homeric Studies at the National University. After his National Service he was awarded the State Scholarship and moved to the UK, where he completed his PhD in Archaic Greek Epic at Durham University in 2015. He has since remained at Durham, first as a Teaching Fellow and currently as a Lecturer in Greek Literature.
