How was the poet Homer imagined by ancient Greeks? This book
examines stories circulating between the sixth and fourth centuries
BC about his birth, place of origin and name; the circumstances of
his life - such as the story of his blindness - his relation to
other poets, and his heirs. The aim is to explore the ancient
reception of the Homeric poems, and to look at it in relation to
modern representations of Homer, ancient and modern conceptions of
authorship, and the 'Homeric Question'. The book's engaging and
accessible style should make it attractive to a wide range of
readers, including non-classicists, and all quotations from Greek
are provided with an English translation.
