| Summary: | "The Iliad and the Odyssey stand at the very beginning of Greek literature, and much has been written about their origins and authorship. In this short introduction Jasper Griffin touches briefly on those perennial questions; however, his main concern is with the concepts that lie behind the two poems which have had such an incalculable influence on the ideas of the western world. He shows how each of the two epics ascribed to the shaping genius of Homer has its own coherent and suggestive view of the world and of man's place within it."--BOOK JACKET. |
