This collective volume provides a fresh perspective on Homeric
reception through a methodologically focused, interdisciplinary
investigation of the transformations of Homeric epic within varying
generic and cultural contexts. It explores how various aspects of
Homeric poetics appeal and can be mapped on to a diversity of
contexts under different socio-historical, intellectual, literary
and artistic conditions. The volume brings together internationally
acclaimed scholars and acute young researchers in the fields of
classics and reception studies, yielding insight into the varied
strategies and ideological forces that define Homeric reception in
literature, scholarship and the performing arts (theatre, film and
music) and shape the 'horizon of expectations' of readers and
audience. This collection also showcases that the wide-ranging
'migration' of Homeric material through time and across place holds
significant cultural power, being instrumental in the construction
of new cultural identities. The volume is of particular interest to
scholars in the fields of classics, reception and cultural studies
and the performing arts, as well as to readers fascinated by
ancient literature and its cultural transformations.
