Written by an international team of scholars, it is intended to be the first port of call for students at all levels, with introductions to important subjects and suggestions for further exploration. Alongside traditional topics like the Homeric Question, the divine apparatus of the poems, the formulae, the characters and the archaeological background, there are detailed discussions of similes, speeches, the poet as story-teller and the genre of epic both within Greece and worldwide. The reception chapters include assessments of ancient Greek and Roman readings as well as selected modern interpretations from the eighteenth century to the present day. Chapters on Homer in English translation and 'Homer' in the history of ideas round out the collection. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEpic poetry, Greek$xHistory and criticism$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aMythology, Greek, in literature$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aEpic poetry, Greek$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aMythology, Greek, in literature 676 $a883/.01 702 $aFowler$b R.
