Peter Walcot – författare

This volume contains 16 articles covering Homeric studies, published in the journal Greece and Rome Studies during the last 25 years. The contributors include some of the best-known scholars in the field. Social values, archaeology, translation, survivals, and, beyond all else, literary quality and compositional technique form the major topics under review. A new introduction by Richard Rutherford sets these articles, the majority of which have been updated by their authors, in the context of recent developments in Homeric scholarship and appreciation.

This volume collects together 14 articles published in Greece and Rome during the last 20 years by leading authorities. They cover a wide breadth of interests including history, the law, mythology, literature, and religion in Graeco-Roman antiquity. A detailed and substantial introduction has been written by Dr Gillian Clark, an expert in the field, relating the articles to the development of gender studies since they were first published. The majority of the articles themselves have been updated to take account of the latest discoveries and developments. This book is intended for students of classics, women's studies, literature, history, and sociology.
