Produktbeskrivning
Robin Lane Fox''s Travelling Heroes: Greeks and their Myths in the Epic Age of Homer proposes a new way of thinking about ancient Greeks, showing how real-life journeys shaped their mythical tales.
The tales of the ancient Greeks have inspired us for thousands of yearsBut where did they originate? Esteemed classicist Robin Lane Fox draws on a lifetime''s knowledge of the ancient world, and on his own travels, to open up the age of Homer.
His acclaimed history explores how the intrepid seafarers of eighth-century Greece sailed around the Mediterranean, encountering strange new sights - volcanic mountains, vaporous springs, huge prehistoric bones - and weaving them into the myths of gods, monsters and heroes that would become the cornerstone of Western civilization: the Odyssey and the Iliad
''A beautiful evocation of a tantalizing world ... Travelling Heroes is a tour de force''
Rowland Smith, Literary Review
''Lyrical, passionate ... his great gift is to make this long-ago world a vivid, extraordinary and sometimes frightening place ..a wonderful story''
Elizabeth Speller, Sunday Times
''Original, daring and arguably life-enhancing ... produced with a sweeping narrative flourish worthy of a cinematographer or screenwriter''
Paul Cartledge, Independent
''Lane Fox argues his case with tremendous style and verve ..learned, and always lively''
Mary Beard, Financial Times
