It explores how various aspects of Homeric poetics appeal and can be mapped on to a diversity of contexts under different socio-historical, intellectual, literary and artistic conditions. The volume brings together internationally acclaimed scholars and acute young researchers in the fields of classics and reception studies, yielding insight into the varied strategies and ideological forces that define Homeric reception in literature, scholarship and the performing arts (theatre, film and music) and shape the ‘horizon of expectations’ of readers and audience. This collection also showcases that the wide-ranging ‘migration’ of Homeric material through time and across place holds significant cultural power, being instrumental in the construction of new cultural identities. The volume is of particular interest to scholars in the fields of classics, reception and cultural studies and the performing arts, as well as to readers fascinated by ancient literature and its cultural transformations.Trends in classics.Supplementary volumes ;Volume 37.Epic poetry, GreekHistory and criticismHomer.ancient Greek literature.performing arts.reception studies.Epic poetry, GreekHistory and criticism.883.01Efstathiou AthanasiosKaramanou IoannaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813325503321Homeric receptions across generic and cultural contexts2637260UNINA
