Much as an ancient hymnist carries a familiar subject into new
directions of song, the contributors to "A Californian Hymn to
Homer" draw upon Homeric scholarship as inspiration for pursuing
new ways of looking at texts, both within the Homeric tradition and
outside it. This set of seven original essays, accompanied by a new
translation of the Homeric "Hymn to Apollo," considers topics that
transcend traditional generic distinctions between epic and lyric,
choral and individual, performed and literary. Treating subjects
ranging from Aeschylus' reception of Homeric anger to the
representation of mantic performance within Early Islamic texts,
the collection presents a selection of imaginative critical work
done on the West Coast by scholars of antiquity.
