The Tradition of the Trojan War in Homer and the Epic Cycle. - BURGESS, J.S.,
KORTE INHOUD
'On the whole (...) B. succeeds admirably in his enterprise, and, even if he may be less persuasive in arguing for the high literary quality of the Cycle poems, in the present reviewer's opinion he has firmly established the case that the Cyclic epics should be regarded as more authoritative representatives of Greek tradition about the Trojan War than the poems of Homer. The conclusion appears irreversible, and this makes B's book essential reading for everyone seriously interested in Homer and Greek epic tradition.' (MARGALIT FINKELBERG in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.09.04).
