Odyssey
Author: Homer
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780198788805
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Since their composition almost 3,000 years ago the Homeric epics have lost none of their power to grip audiences and fire the imagination: with their stories of life and death, love and loss, war and peace they continue to speak to us at the deepest level about who we are across the span of generations. That being said, the world of Homer is in many ways distant from that in which we live today, with fundamental differences not only in language, social order, and religion, but in basic assumptions about the world and human nature. This volume offers a detailed yet accessible introduction to ancient Greek culture through the lens of Book One of the Odyssey, covering all of these aspects and more in a comprehensive Introduction designed to orient students in their studies of Greek literature and history. The full Greek text is included alongside a facing English translation which aims to reproduce as far as feasible the word order and sound play of the Greek original and is supplemented by a Glossary of Technical Terms and a full vocabulary keyed to the specific ways that words are used in Odyssey I. At the heart of the volume is a full-length line-by-line commentary, the first in English since the 1980s and updated to bring the latest scholarship to bear on the text: focusing on philological and linguistic issues, its close engagement with the original Greek yields insights that will be of use to scholars and advanced students as well as to those coming to the text for the first time.

The Athenian Murders
Author: V.J. Randle
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504094832
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Detectives in Greece struggle to solve multiple murders—and confront a shadowy group claiming that the goddess Athena is behind the carnage . . . After an unidentified body is found at the Temple of Hephaestus, arranged to resemble the myth of Athena’s birth, officers Michail Mikras and Katerina Galanis are assigned to the case, led by a senior detective recently transferred from London. Amid growing media coverage, a group calling itself The Awakening puts out ominous social media posts, claiming that this crime proves the goddess Athena has returned to “cleanse” the city of Athens. With each new corpse, the mania grows—chants of “Athena is arisen” ring out; a rabble-rousing newspaper suggests that the goddess is purifying the city by getting rid of immigrants; graffiti of axes and snakes start to appear. As raucous rallies spring up throughout the city, the team of investigators must solve the case to break the spell before an unimaginable horror comes to pass . . .

Homer’s Iliad
Author: Homer
Publisher: CLAIRVIEW BOOKS
ISBN: 1912992655
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 664
Book Description
The Iliad presents superhuman heroes and superhuman rage, brutal death, unbounded sorrow, the craving for revenge, the shortness of life, the glory quest, and, ultimately, reconciliation and forgiveness. As human nature is unchanging, the Iliad’s themes concern us as much today as they did Homer’s audiences 2,700 years ago. Not for nothing did Ezra Pound observe that “a civilization was founded on Homer.” The Iliad is always relevant, even as it is timeless. Of interest to readers in every generation, it is a classic in the root sense. Homer was “the Bible of the Greeks.” He was their mythology and history (still fairly merged at the time), their religion, their storehouse of ethics and exempla under an Olympian dispensation. And while the Odyssey is the more popular of Homer’s epics, the Iliad is the more profound. This is not merely another new translation of Homer’s Iliad. It is sooner and foremost Homer’s Iliad in a Classical Translation – the first-ever into a consistently 12-syllable line and, at the same time, the longest such work in the English language (the Iliad consisting of 15,639 lines in Greek). This translation by Jeffrey M. Duban uses a mildly archaizing style and other poetic devices to suggest the antiquity and flavor of Homeric composition. Like the original, it is both alliterative and polysyllabic – excessive monosyllabism the scourge of many a modern translation. Duban further observes epic decorum with recourse to poetic diction. Decorum entails the avoidance of colloquialisms and commonplaces, again in contrast to other translations.
