Professor Lamberton argues that this tradition of reading was to create new demands on subsequent epic and thereby alter permanently the nature of European epic. The Neoplatonist reading was to be decisive in the birth of allegorical epic in late antiquity and forms the background for the next major extension of the epic tradition found in Dante. 410 0$aTransformation of the classical heritage ;$v9. 606 $aReligion in literature 606 $aAllegory 606 $aNeoplatonism 606 $aEpic poetry$xHistory and criticism 610 $aachilles. 610 $aallegory. 610 $aancient philosophy. 610 $abards. 610 $acalchas. 610 $aclassicism. 610 $aclassics. 610 $adante. 610 $adivine inspiration. 610 $adivinity. 610 $aepic poetry. 610 $aepic tradition. 610 $aepic. 610 $aform. 610 $agenre. 610 $agods and goddesses. 610 $agreco roman studies. 610 $agreek. 610 $ahero. 610 $ahomer. 610 $ahomeric poems. 610 $ailiad. 610 $ainvocation. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $aliterary theory. 610 $aliterature. 610 $amyth. 610 $amythology. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aodyssey. 610 $aoral tradition. 610 $aplatonic tradition. 610 $aplatonism. 610 $apoetic form. 610 $aprophecy. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious experience. 610 $arevelation. 610 $asemiotics theory. 610 $asupernatural. 610 $atheoclymenus. 610 $atiresias. 610 $atrojan war. 615 0$aReligion in literature. 615 0$aAllegory. 615 0$aNeoplatonism. 615 0$aEpic poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a883/.01 700 $aLamberton$b Robert$0530880 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786211703321 996 $aHomer the theologian$92376259 997 $aUNINA
