By George Washington Paschal

Book Overview

A Study of Quintus of Smyrna is a book written by George Washington Paschal in 1904. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the life and works of Quintus of Smyrna, a Greek poet who lived in the 3rd century AD. Paschal explores the historical context in which Quintus lived and wrote, as well as the literary traditions that influenced his work. The book also includes an in-depth analysis of Quintus' most famous work, the Posthomerica, which is an epic poem that continues the story of the Trojan War after the events described in Homer's Iliad. Paschal examines the themes, characters, and style of the Posthomerica, and provides a detailed analysis of its structure and composition.
