Lucian's True Stories -- Ghosts at Troy: Philostratus' Heroicus -- Epilogue. 330 $aDid Homer tell the 'truth' about the Trojan War? If so, how much, and if not, why not? The issue was hardly academic to the Greeks living under the Roman Empire, given the centrality of both Homer, the father of Greek culture, and the Trojan War, the event that inaugurated Greek history, to conceptions of Imperial Hellenism. This book examines four Greek texts of the Imperial period that address the topic - Strabo's Geography, Dio of Prusa's Trojan Oration, Lucian's novella True Stories, and Philostratus' fictional dialogue Heroicus - and shows how their imaginative explorations of Homer and his relationship to history raise important questions about the nature of poetry and fiction, the identity and intentions of Homer himself, and the significance of the heroic past and Homeric authority in Imperial Greek culture. 410 0$aGreek culture in the Roman world. 517 3 $aHomer between History & Fiction in Imperial Greek Literature 606 $aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTrojan War$xLiterature and the war 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTrojan War$xLiterature and the war. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 676 $a880.9/351 700 $aKim$b Lawrence Young$f1970-$01019998 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247976403316 996 $aHomer between history and fiction in imperial Greek literature$92408306 997 $aUNISA
