Reading Epic: An Introduction to the Ancient Narratives Book

Peter Toohey guides the reader through the major classical writers of epic poetry, beginning with Homer and concluding with an overview of the development of the late ancient epic and of the interaction between the epic and classical writers of epic poetry.Reading Epic offers an interpretation of the "meaning," not simply a description of the story in these poems, taking into account the intellectual constraints of the era in which they were written. In most cases these readings are provided within the format of interpretative paraphrase. Toohey's readings provide clear and reliable introductions to the foremost Greek and Latin epics, and to the genre as a whole.Read More
