The Cambridge Companion to Homer is a guide to the essential
aspects of Homeric criticism and scholarship, including the
reception of the poems in ancient and modern times. Written by an
international team of scholars, it is intended to be the first port
of call for students at all levels, with introductions to important
subjects and suggestions for further exploration. Alongside
traditional topics like the Homeric Question, the divine apparatus
of the poems, the formulae, the characters and the archaeological
background, there are detailed discussions of similes, speeches,
the poet as story-teller and the genre of epic both within Greece
and worldwide. The reception chapters include assessments of
ancient Greek and Roman readings as well as selected modern
interpretations from the eighteenth century to the present day.
Chapters on Homer in English translation and 'Homer' in the history
of ideas round out the collection.
