Lucian's True Stories -- Ghosts at Troy: Philostratus' Heroicus -- Epilogue.Did Homer tell the 'truth' about the Trojan War? If so, how much, and if not, why not? The issue was hardly academic to the Greeks living under the Roman Empire, given the centrality of both Homer, the father of Greek culture, and the Trojan War, the event that inaugurated Greek history, to conceptions of Imperial Hellenism. This book examines four Greek texts of the Imperial period that address the topic - Strabo's Geography, Dio of Prusa's Trojan Oration, Lucian's novella True Stories, and Philostratus' fictional dialogue Heroicus - and shows how their imaginative explorations of Homer and his relationship to history raise important questions about the nature of poetry and fiction, the identity and intentions of Homer himself, and the significance of the heroic past and Homeric authority in Imperial Greek culture.Greek culture in the Roman world.Homer between History & Fiction in Imperial Greek LiteratureGreek literatureHistory and criticismTrojan WarLiterature and the warLiterature and historyGreeceHistoryTo 1500Greek literatureHistory and criticism.Trojan WarLiterature and the war.Literature and historyHistory880.9/351Kim Lawrence Young1970-1019998UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996247976403316Homer between history and fiction in imperial Greek literature2408306UNISA
