Homeric Soundings: The Shaping of the Iliad - Clarendon Paperbacks
Taplin, Oliver (Fellow and Tutor in Greek and Latin Language and Literature, Fellow and Tutor in Greek and Latin Language and Literature, Magdalen College, Oxford)
To a reader, the Iliad may seem long and shapeless - but a close study reveals a wealth of powerful networks and intricate poetic motifs. Dr Taplin's new book argues that Homer created the Iliad to be heard, and that its sophisticated techniques would have been more, not less, accessible, to an aural audience.
