Excerpt from Remarks on Prof. Mahaffy's Account of the Rise and Progress of Epic Poetry: In His History of Classical Greek Literature
They are statements confirmed by no other evidence of the least value. They are, in a word, put forward, as far as the theory of an early written text is concerned, to account for the otherwise almost impossible preservation of poems of great length, unmixed with the other matter which, as I have said, we know to have existed and to have been accepted as Homer before the age of Plato.

Remarks on Prof. Mahaffy's Account of the Rise and Progress of Epic Poetry
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the literary history of the Homeric epics, specifically the Iliad and the Odyssey. The author presents evidence that the traditional view of the epics having been composed by Homer around 850 B.C. is incorrect and that they are in fact a compilation of texts from different authors and periods, with the final assembly of the texts as we know them occurring much later. The author uses philological analysis of the texts themselves, as well as historical and archaeological data, to construct a complex picture of the development of these epic poems over time, arguing that the epics we associate with Homer are in fact the product of a long process of evolution and adaptation. The author presents a compelling case that our understanding of these foundational works of Western literature must be revised. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331725220_0
