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.

This volume is the first English-language survey of Homeric studies to appear for more than a generation, and the first such work to attempt to cover all fields comprehensively. Thirty leading scholars from Europe and America provide short, authoritative overviews of the state of knowledge and current controversies in the many specialist divisions in Homeric studies. The chapters pay equal attention to literary, mythological, linguistic, historical, and archaeological topics, ranging from such long-established problems as the "Homeric Question" to newer issues like the relevance of narratology and computer-assisted quantification. The collection, the third publication in Brill's handbook series, "The Classical Tradition," will be valuable at every level of study - from the general student of literature to the Homeric specialist seeking a general understanding of the latest developments across the whole range of Homeric scholarship.

Excerpt from Greece in the Times of Homer: An Account of the Life, Customs, and Habits of the Greeks During the Homeric Period Repeated requests from readers of my His tory of Greece for a book on the Homeric times, which, as a matter of necessity, were briefly treated in the history, have induced me to undertake the present work. There is, per haps, no page in the whole history of the Hel lenic race so interesting and instructive as the Homeric age. An irresistible charm has always drawn me to that period. When we consider that centuries before Christ, when the rest of the world was steeped in barbarism, the Hellenic peo ple enjoyed a civilization in many respects um surpassed to this day, that they transported large armies across the sea, that they first of all found ed institutions -which have elevated mankind, that they produced a poet who alone is sufficient to glorify a nation, we may well feel an interest in investigating more fully such an age.
