{"product_id":"9781350129412","title":"Homer's Iliad and the Trojan War : Dialogues on Tradition (Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this new volume, Jan Haywood and Naoíse Mac Sweeney investigate the position of Homer's Iliad within the wider Trojan War tradition through a series of detailed case studies. From ancient Mesopotamia to twenty-first century America, these examples are drawn from a range of historical and cultural contexts; and from Athenian pot paintings to twelfth-century German scholarship, they engage with a range of different media and genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the dialogues inherent in the process of reception, the book adopts a dialogic structure. In each chapter, paired essays by Haywood and Mac Sweeney offer contrasting authorial voices addressing a single theme, thereby drawing out connections and dissonances between a diverse suite of classical and post-classical Iliadic receptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting book offers new insights, both into individual instances of Iliadic reception in particular historical contexts, but also into the workings of a complex story tradition. The centrality of the Iliad within the wider Trojan War tradition is shown to be a function of conscious engagement not only with Iliadic content, but also with Iliadic status and the iconic idea of the Homeric.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48949567946987,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":85.97,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781350129412-1.jpg?v=1783098195","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781350129412","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
