Produktbeschreibung

S.E. Bassett's classic work The Poetry of Homer investigates the rhetorical techniques that enable the Iliad and the Odyssey speak to both ancient and modern audiences. Somewhat neglected in the decades after its posthumous publication in 1938, it has become an immensely influential work and has left its mark on a generation of Classicists.
