Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from The Greek Epic The field of early Greek literature has been fairly thrown open to the 'English reader' within our generation, and more especially in the last twenty years, not only by new translations in prose as well as verse, and direct aids such as Mr. Gladstone's 'Juventus Mundi, ' Prof. Jebb's 'Introduction to Homer, ' Mr. Andrew Lang's 'Homer and the Epic, ' and Mr. Walter Leafs 'Companion to the "Iliad, "' but indirectly through works in which the latest results of archological and linguistic research have been sifted and condensed, such as Schuchhardt's survey of Schliemann's discoveries and Schrader's treatise on Aryan antiquities. For those who purpose to possess themselves of 'Homer' and 'Hesiod' as thoroughly as they can with such assistance, and to study them in earnest as they study Chaucer and Shakespeare, an easy 'popular' sketch of the subject would be superfluous even if it were not already at hand in more than one old-fashioned manual.
