Quarter brown cloth, red paper boards, gold lettering to spine. 192 p.p. Light spotting to cloth. Dust jacket has short tear at head of rear cover, sunning to spine. Foxing to edges of text block. Homer's great epic poems have brilliantly evoked - for twenty-five centuries - a world of gods, heroes and men that is still central to our conceptions of ourselves. But what really was the world of Odysseus like? When did that society flourish? Did the Trojan War take place? How can we use the Homeric poems as historical evidence, and what other evidence do we have of the world of Odysseus?
