On The Comparatively Late Date And Composite Character Of Our Iliad And Odyssey

By Frederick Apthorp Paley

Book Overview

""On The Comparatively Late Date And Composite Character Of Our Iliad And Odyssey"" is a book written by F. A. Paley that explores the origins of two of the most famous epic poems in Western literature: the Iliad and the Odyssey. The book argues that these works were not created by a single author, but rather were the result of a long process of oral tradition and literary borrowing. Paley examines the linguistic and stylistic features of the poems, as well as their historical and cultural contexts, to support his thesis. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Greek literature, as well as anyone interested in the development of epic poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
