Celebrating Homer's Landscapes : Troy and Ithaca Revisited
Editorial Reviews
Peter Green, New Republic
[Luce's] arguments--aided by superb color photographs . . . are fundamentally convincing.
Book Description
In this beautiful book, an eminent authority on Homeric texts takes us on a tour of the main localities in the Iliad and Odyssey. Drawing on photographs of the terrain as well as the texts themselves, J.V. Luce argues that Homer's descriptions of the ancient landscape, far from being poetic fantasies, are accurate in every essential detail.
