Inventing Homer

The Early Reception of Epic

by Barbara Graziosi

Graziosi examines how the ancient Greeks constructed the figure of Homer, his date, birthplace and blindness, in biographies, poetry and performance. She shows that the poet's image was shaped by the uses made of his poems. A valuable study of ancient reception.
