The Cambridge Guide to Homer Edited by Corinne Ondine Pache , Edited in Association with Casey Dué , Susan Lupack , Robert Lamberton Frontmatter More Information Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02719-0 — The Cambridge Guide to Homer Edited by Corinne Ondine Pache , Edited in association with Casey Dué , Susan Lupack , Robert Lamberton Frontmatter More Information THE CAMBRIDGE GUIDE TO HOMER From its ancient incarnation as a song to recent translations in modern languages, Homeric epic remains an abiding source of inspiration for both scholars and artists that transcends temporal and linguistic boundaries. The Cambridge Guide to Homer examines the influence and meaning of Homeric poetry from its earliest form as ancient Greek song to its current status in world literature, presenting the information in a synthetic manner that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the different strands of Homeric studies. The volume is structured around three main themes: Homeric Song and Text, the Homeric World, and Homer in the World. Each section starts with a series of “macropedia” essays arranged thematically that are accompanied by shorter complementary “micropedia” articles. The Cambridge Guide to Homer thus traces the many routes taken by Homeric epic in the ancient world and its continuing relevance in different periods and cultures. Corinne Ondine Pache is Professor of Classical Studies at Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas. Her research focuses on ancient religion, archaic poetry, and the modern reception of ancient epic. Her publications include Baby and Child Heroes in Ancient Greece (2004) and “A Moment’s Ornament”: The Poetics of Nympholepsy in Ancient Greece (2011). © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02719-0 — The Cambridge Guide to Homer Edited by Corinne Ondine Pache , Edited in association with Casey Dué , Susan Lupack , Robert Lamberton Frontmatter More Information © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02719-0 — The Cambridge Guide to Homer Edited by Corinne Ondine Pache , Edited in association with Casey Dué , Susan Lupack , Robert Lamberton Frontmatter More Information THE CAMBRIDGE GUIDE TO HOMER zx Edited by CORINNE ONDINE PACHE Trinity University Associate Editors CASEY DUÉ University of Houston SUSAN LUPACK Macquarie University ROBERT LAMBERTON Washington University in St. Louis © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02719-0 — The Cambridge Guide to Homer Edited by Corinne Ondine Pache , Edited in association with Casey Dué , Susan Lupack , Robert Lamberton Frontmatter More Information University Printing House, Cambridge cb2 8bs, United Kingdom One Liberty Plaza, 20th Floor, New York, ny 10006, USA 477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, vic 3207, Australia 314–321, 3rd Floor, Plot 3, Splendor Forum, Jasola District Centre, New Delhi – 110025, India 79 Anson Road, #06–04/06, Singapore 079906 Cambridge University Press is part of the University of Cambridge.

    new and notable A timely analysis of the bombing of Pompeii in 1943 and the importance of protecting world heritage sites Bombing Pompeii World Heritage and Military Necessity Nigel Pollard “Pollard knows his material inside and out, and his argument will certainly become definitive. The subject also opens up the larger issue of protection of physical culture and monuments in wartime.” — Harry B. Evans, Fordham University Bombing Pompeii examines the circumstances under which over 160 Allied bombs hit the archaeological site of Pompeii in August and September 1943, and the wider significance of this event in the history of efforts to protect cultural heritage in conflict zones, a broader issue which is still of great importance. The book sets this event, along with other instances of damage and risk to cultural heritage in Italy in the Second World War, in the context of the development of the Allied Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives – the “Monuments Men.” Nigel Pollard is Associate Professor in the College of Arts and Human- ities at Swansea University. 6 x 9. 340pp. 35 illustrations, 10 tables.

The Mirror’s Reflection: Virgil’s Aeneid in English Translation Evelyn W. Adkins Professor Beth Severy -Hoven, Advisor Classics Department, Macalester College Honors Project May 1, 2006 Abstract Virgil’s Roman epic the Aeneid is one of the canonical works of Western culture. A classic in its own time, it continues to be used as a mirror to reflect on contemporary culture. I examine the history of the Aeneid in English translation from 1513 to 2005, specifically the translations of Book VI by Gavin Douglas, Thomas Phaer, John Dryden, C. Day Lewis, Robert Fitzgerald, Allen Mandelbaum, and Stanley Lombardo. Throughout, I discuss how each translator saw and emphasized the reflection of his own political, religious, and cu ltural concerns in the mirror of Virgil’s Aeneid . Vergil holds up a mirror to us, from which, as we move from decade to decade, a changing image shines.

  • The Iliad by Homer (General Introduction)

Khan Women’s College (Autonomous) Midnapore, West Bengal Study Material--1 On The Iliad by Homer (General Introduction) For Course: English Hons. SEM: IV Paper: HCC8 Session: 2019-2020 Prepared by Atasi Sahoo Guest Teacher Department of English Raja N.L. Khan Women’s College (Autonomous) Date: 22nd April, 2020 April 1, 2020 1 DEPT. OF ENGLISH, SEM—IV, CC8, THE ILIAD (ATASI SAHOO) ❖ Introduction: The Iliad, a 15,000-line Greek epic poem is the first work of western literature. It is composed at around 7th century BC by Homer (the Greeks believed that the two epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey were composed by Homer) in twenty-four books in dactylic hexameter. Both these epics are the earliest literary texts and they represent the combination of century-long oral composition and oral poetry. In the 1920s, the American scholar of epic poetry and the founder of the discipline of oral tradition, Milman Parry established that the style of Homeric poetry was oral. It is traditional and is based on the process of story-telling as it tells the story of an incident that took place during the Greek siege of Ilium (a town in the region of Troy). But this work does not cover the whole Trojan War, rather the story covers only a few weeks in the final year i.e. the tenth year of the war. The main theme of the epic is the ‘wrath of Achilles’ originated from his quarrel with king Agamemnon, the Greek leader in the Trojan War.
