A wide-ranging and very interesting collection of essays in honor of Emily Vermeule (whose name originally alerted me to the existence of this book). Chronologically, it covers topics from the Mycenaean age to the Roman period, and deals with literary, artistic, and archaeological topics. ( ) This collection of essays in honor of Emily Vermeule is an invaluable source for the serious reader of Homer. A number of Homeric scholars contributed articles ranging in topic from archaeological to historical to literary. The book is divided into three parts: Homer and the Bronze Age: Memory and Archaeology, Homer and the Iron Age: History and Poetics, After Homer: Narrative and Representation. The articles cover such a wide variety of topics that this book provides a refreshing source to dip into for occasional reading over a long period of time. It makes a good bedside companion for the lover of Homer. For more articles and reviews about Homer and Troy go to www.judithstarkston.com geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"The Iliad and Odyssey of Homer have fascinated listeners and readers for over twenty-five centuries. In this volume of original essays, collected to honor the distinguished teaching and research career of Emily T. Vermeule, thirty leading experts in Homeric studies and related fields provide up-to-date, multidisciplinary accounts of the most current issues in and approaches to the study of Homer."--BOOK JACKET. "The book is divided into three sections, covering the three "ages," or historical periods, of Homer. The first section treats the Bronze Age setting of the poems (around 1200 B.C.), using archaeological evidence to reveal the operation of poetic memory in preserving, distorting, and inventing the past. The second section explores the early Iron Age in which the poems were written (ca. 800-500 B.C.), using the strategies of comparative philology and mythology, literary theory, historical linguistics, anthropology, and iconography to determine how the Homeric poems took shape. The final section traces the use of Homer for literary and artistic inspiration by classical antiquity (Greece and Rome)."--BOOK JACKET. "From these essays emerge new answers to old questions such as the date of the Trojan War, the origins of the Catalogue of Ships in Book 2 of the Iliad, the historicity of early Aegean contacts with Egypt, Cyprus and the Levant, and Anatolia, and the relations between literary narrative and contemporary visual representation. In addition, several essays introduce new material relevant to Homeric studies in the form of previously unpublished works of art and new results of excavations."--Jacket.
