Archaeology and Homeric Epic

Edited by Susan Sherratt & John Bennet Oxford & Philadelphia

Archaeology and Homeric Epic Contributors explore a variety of issues including the relationships between visual and verbal imagery, the social contexts of epic (or sub-epic) creation or re-creation, the roles of bards and their relationships to different types of patrons and audiences, the construction and uses of ‘history’ as traceable through both epic and archaeology and the relationship between ‘prehistoric’ (oral) and 'historical' (recorded in writing) periods. Throughout, the emphasis is on context and its relevance to the creation, transmission, re-creation and manipulation of epic in the present (or near-present) as well as in the ancient Greek past.

Archaeology and Homeric Epic

Edited by Susan Sherratt & John Bennet Oxford & Philadelphia 2017
