The aim of this book is to prove that the Homeric Epics, as wholes, and apart from passages gravely suspected in antiquity, present a perfectly harmonious picture of the entire life and civilisation of one single age. The faint variations in the design are not greater than such as mark every moment of culture, for in all there is some movement; in all, cases are modified by circumstances. If our contention be true, it will follow that the poems themselves, as wholes, are the product of a single age, not a mosaic of the work of several changeful centuries. This book is annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer. Contents: Preface Chapter I - The Homeric Age Chapter Ii - Hypotheses As To The Growth Of The Epics Chapter Iii - Hypotheses Of Epic Composition Chapter Iv - Loose Feudalism: The Over-Lord In Iliad, Books I. And Ii. Chapter V - Agamemnon In The Later Iliad Chapter Vi - Archaeology Of The Iliad. Burial And Cremation Chapter Vii - Homeric Armour Chapter Viii - The Breastplate Chapter Ix - Bronze And Iron Chapter X - The Homeric House Chapter Xi - Notes Of Change In The Odyssey Chapter Xii - Linguistic Proofs Of Various Dates Chapter Xiii - The Doloneia Chapter Xiv- The Interpolations Of Nestor Chapter Xv - The Comparative Study Of Early Epics Chapter Xvi - Homer And The French Mediaeval Epics Chapter Xvii - Conclusion Digital Content>E-books>Biography>Historical Biog,Memoir>Hist Biog,Memoir, Jazzybee Verlag Digital >16<
