This volume is a distinctive critical introduction to Homer's
Iliad, the earliest epic poem, and the earliest known work of
literature in ancient Greece. Michael Silk deals with the poem's
historical context, its composition and its extensive influence,
and relates its literary power to the peculiar coherence and
inter-relation of such aspects of the poem as its style,
character-portrayal and ideology. Through use of quotation from the
original and accompanying English translation, close attention is
paid to the distinctive texture of Homeric poetry. This revised
edition takes account of recent scholarship in the field and
includes a comprehensive updated guide to further reading. It is
essential reading for students of literature and classics.
