Description

Explore the deep connections between ancient oral tradition and musical performance with Performing Homer: The Voyage of Ulysses from Epic to Opera. This scholarly work examines how the Iliad and the Odyssey, attributed to Homer, function as more than just written texts. Because these epic poems originated from oral performance, they contain a musical quality in their language and vivid imagery designed to create a theatrical experience for the listener. This book investigates how the inherent theatricality of Homeric verse inspired later creators to adapt these stories across various media, including novels, plays, and poems. As part of the Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera, this text provides a unique look at how the transition from spoken epic to musical opera shaped the way we interpret these foundational works of literature. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the relationship between classical literature, performance, and musical styles.
