Description

This scholarly monograph examines how Greek versions of Trojan War narratives from the first through fifth centuries C.E. created powerful nostalgia for ancient audiences. The Iliad and Odyssey served as foundational texts in classical education, shaping how students learned Greek language and literature. Combined with the ruling elite's financial support for recreations of the Greek past, this educational emphasis fostered a distinctive culture of nostalgia throughout the Roman Empire. The book explores varied literary responses to this nostalgic climate, with particular focus on the third-century C.E. poet Quintus of Smyrna and his epic Posthomerica, which positioned itself as a Homeric sequel. Through close analysis of these texts, the volume demonstrates how later Greek authors engaged with and reimagined the Homeric tradition to resonate with their contemporary audiences.

Key Features

Investigates Trojan War narratives written in Greek between the first and fifth centuries C.E. and their role in creating audience nostalgia.

Examines the Iliad and Odyssey as educational models that shaped Greek language learning and established classical literary foundations.

Analyses third-century C.E. poet Quintus of Smyrna's Posthomerica as a key example of Homeric reimagination and nostalgic engagement.

Explores how the ruling elite's financial encouragement of Greek cultural recreations contributed to the broader Roman Empire nostalgia climate.
