Here is the first survey of the surviving evidence for the growth,
development, and influence of the Neoplatonist allegorical reading
of the "Iliad" and "Odyssey." Professor Lamberton argues that this
tradition of reading was to create new demands on subsequent epic
and thereby alter permanently the nature of European epic. The
Neoplatonist reading was to be decisive in the birth of allegorical
epic in late antiquity and forms the background for the next major
extension of the epic tradition found in Dante.
