Description

This scholarly work examines Homer's enduring influence on Greek thought and classical philosophy. Explore how Homer's writings shaped ancient Greek intellectual life, from his celebrated epics to their reception by major philosophers. The volume traces critical perspectives from Xenophanes, who challenged Homer's portrayal of the gods, through Plato's philosophical critiques and the broader impact of Homeric poetry on Greek education. Discover how Homer's myths became central to Greek cultural identity whilst also provoking philosophical debate about morality, divinity, and the proper role of poetry in society.
