Excerpt from The Age of Homer I admire Homer more than ever, but I am now quite sure that the Iliad is a piece of mosaic made very skilfully, long after his time, out of several of his lays, with bits here and there of compositions of inferior minstrels. - Lord Macaulay' Life, vol. Ii, p. 296. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Homer and His Age The unity of the Epics is not so important a topic as the methods of criticism. They ought to be sober, logical, and self-consistent. When these qualities are absent, Homeric criticism may be described, in the recent words of Blass, as a swamp haunted by wan dering fires, will 0' the wisps.

Excerpt from Homer I. Homer's Unique Position. - The poems of Homer do not constitute merely a great item of the splendid literature of Greece; but they have a separate position, to which none other can approach. They, and the manners they describe, constitute a world of their own; and are severed by a sea of time, whose breadth has not been certainly measured, from the firmly-set continent of recorded tradition and continuous fact. In this sea they lie, as a great island And in this island we find not merely details of events, but a scheme of human life and character, complete in all its parts. We are introduced to man in every relation of which he is capable; in every one of his arts, devices, institutions; in the entire circle of his experience. There is no other author, whose case is analogous to this, or of whom it can be said that the study of him is not a mere matter of literary criticism, but is a full study of life in every one of its departments. To rescue this circle of studies from inadequate conceptions, and to lay the ground for a true idea of them, I have proposed to term them Homerology. Of this Homerology, I shall now endeavour to present some of the first elements in their simplest form. And at the threshold, postponing for the moment our notice of the controversies involved in what is termed the Homeric question, let us see how far we can acquire an idea of the poet himself, and the conditions under which he lived.

Excerpt from Homer: An Introduction to the Iliad and the Odyssey The purpose of this book is to furnish, in a compact form, a general introduction to the study of Homer. The four chapters into which it is divided deal respectively with four aspects of the subject - (i) The general character of the Homeric poems, and their place in the history of literature (2) their historical value, as illustrating an early period of Hellenic life: (3) their influence in the ancient world, and the criticism bestowed on them in antiquity (4) the modern inquiry into their origin. So far as I am aware, there is no one book, English or foreign, which collects the principal results of modern study in each of these departments.

Excerpt from Life in the Homeric Age This book is based upon a careful study of the Homeric poems. The earlier works on the same subject have not relieved the author from the Obligation of collecting his own material for an independent examination of the questions involved. To Buchholz's Homerische Realien, however, he is greatly indebted for collections of material which have enabled him at times to check the completeness of his own. In the main, he has followed Reichel in the chapter on Homeric Arms. Wherever special acknowledgment was due, he has intended to give it in the footnotes, as a convenience to the reader, as well as the right of the original author. A list of works important for the study of Homeric antiquities is given on pages xiii-xvi, but the author cannot attempt to give a list of all the works which he has consulted. The author's point of view has been philological, not archaeological. From the poet's language he has attempted to discover what was before the poet's mind. Such a systematic attempt from the philological side to present an account of the life of the Homeric age, has not been made for more than a generation. This book should prove a complement to works like those of Tsountas and Manatt, The Mycenaean Age, of Ridgeway, The Early Age of Greece, and of Hall, The Earliest Civilization of Greece, - which look at nearly the same period from the archaeological point of view.

Excerpt from The Unity of Homer Homer was such a master of dramatic narra tive that each character represents only himself. When once Nestor, Achilles, Helen, Hector, or Agamemnon has been brought into action, each seems to live his own life, free to act or to speak as he pleases, entirely detached from the mind which created him. The poet seems never to have made an allusion to contemporary events, so that it is impossible to assign him to a definite age; and his references to rivers, mountains, lands, and seas are so im personal, so involved in the story he is telling, that it is as difficult to name his home as it is to define his time.
