| Abstract: | "No one knows whether Homer ever existed, but there is no doubt that the poems assembled under his name are foundations of Western literature. The Iliad and Odyssey--with their tales of the Trojan War, Achilles, Odysseus, and Penelope, the Cyclops, and the beautiful Helen of Troy and the petulant gods--have inspired us for over two and a half millennia and influenced writers from Plato to Virgil, Pope to Joyce, and Dante to Margaret Atwood. In this revised and expanded edition, Alberto Manguel ignited new ways of thinking about these classic works"--Back cover |
