This textbook is endorsed by OCR and supports the specifications
for AS and A-Level Classical Civilisation (first teaching September
2017). It covers all three options for Component 11: World of the
Hero (Homer's Iliad, Homer's Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid). Why does
the Trojan War continue to fascinate us? What makes Odysseus a
hero? What links can be drawn between the Aeneid and today's global
politics? This book guides AS and A-Level students to a greater
understanding of the epics of Homer and Virgil, setting the poems
in their cultural context and drawing on the scholarship of leading
academics to explore the poetry, characters and underlying
philosophies. The colour illustrations, from the Cyclops on a Greek
pot to a photograph of protesting Yadizi women, reflect the
universal impact and continuing relevance of these classical epics.
The ideal preparation for the final examinations, all content is
presented by an expert and experienced teacher in a clear and
accessible narrative. Ancient literary sources are described and
analysed. Helpful student features include study questions,
quotations from contemporary scholars, further reading, and boxes
focusing in on key people, events and terms. Practice questions and
exam guidance prepare students for assessment. A Companion Website
is available at www.bloomsbury.com/class-civ-as-a-level.
