Studies on Homer and the Homeric Age, Vol. 3 of 3
I. Agorè: Polities of the Homeric Age. II. Ilios: Trojans and Greeks Compared. III. Thalassa: The Outer Geography. IV. Aoidos: Some Points of the Poetry of Homer.
The third volume of Studies on Homer and the Homeric Age completes the work W. E. Gladstone published in 1858, during a pause in his political career. Its four sections are titled with Greek words: Agorè examines the political institutions of the Homeric poems, the assembly, the council and the kings; Ilios compares the Trojans and Greeks in religion, manners and character; Thalassa reconstructs the geography of the Odyssey beyond the known Mediterranean; and Aoidos considers the plot of the Iliad, Homer's sense of beauty, his handling of number and color, and the fate of his great characters in later poets. Gladstone reads the poems as history, and the book shows a statesman's fascination with a poet. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
