By Edward Farquhar

Book Overview

""Elements of Unity in the Homeric Poems"" is a scholarly work written by Edward Farquhar and first published in 1900. The book is an analysis of the two epic poems of ancient Greek literature, the Iliad and the Odyssey, attributed to the poet Homer. Farquhar examines the various elements that unify these two works, including the themes, characters, and style of the poetry.
