Beskrivning
Homer and the Good Ruler in Antiquity and Beyond focuses on the important question of how and why later authors employ Homeric poetry to reflect on various types and aspects of leadership. In a range of essays discussing generically diverse receptions of the epics of Homer in historically diverse contexts, this question is answered in various ways. Rather than considering Homer’s works as literary products, then, this volume discusses the pedagogic dimension of the Iliad and the Odyssey as perceived by later thinkers and writers interested in the parameters of good rule, such as Plato, Philodemus, Polybius, Vergil, and Eustathios.

Recensioner i media

"This fine collection of papers examines the Homeric poems as Mirrors for Princes. Although other works have studied pedagogical aspects of the Homeric poems, there has been no full-scale examination of Homer as an educator for rulers. The present study presents many facets of the topic, ranging from Homer's original pedagogical intent, to classical, medieval and modern views of Homer as a guide for those in positions of authority.(...) Moving from the Homeric to the modern period, this book offers a broad look at Homer's influence on educating the ruler and on pedagogy in general. (...) each chapter makes a worthy contribution to the topic, and the book opens many further avenues for study." Scott Goins, CJ-Online 2019.09.06.
