Description

Explore the long history of how the Iliad and Odyssey have been received by scholars and writers. This Routledge Library Edition provides a succinct and insightful account of Homeric reception from antiquity through the mid-twentieth century. Rather than a standard systematic history, this work offers a series of independent studies that vary in scale and focus, providing deep looks into specific historical influences. This volume is particularly valuable for those studying how Homeric texts influenced active creators. The author focuses on figures who used Homeric works to shape their own output, such as Virgil through his writing of the Aeneid. It also examines the impact of figures like Gladstone, who brought Homer to prominence in Oxford education, and Wood, who sought out these classical works. Originally published in 1958, this edition remains a significant resource for students and readers interested in ancient history and the lasting legacy of Greek literature.
