  • Homer’s Iliad Book XVIII

    Marina Coray, Benjamin Millis et al.EDITORBOOKHomer's Iliad2018Cited by: 4

    Book 18 of the Iliad dedicates much space to Achilleus’ new armor, particularly his shield. This object, fantastical in every regard, could be discussed endlessly, and much that is clever and stimulating has already been written on the topic. In the present commentary, discussion of this section takes up considerable space; the complexity of the ekphrasis and the abundance of scholarship relating to it made it useful to include overviews as guide…

  • Commentary

    Martha Krieter-Spiro, Joachim Latacz et al.EDITORBOOKKommentar2009

    This commentary on the 3rd book of the Iliad concentrates on the interpretation of the ceremonial single combat between the rivals for Helen, Paris and Menelaus ‐ a scene that reflects the origins of the Trojan War. The famous parade before the walls presents Agamemnon, Odysseus and Ajax, as well as revealing just how much in love Paris and Helen are, in spite of internal and external conflicts.

  • Commentary

    Marina Coray, Joachim Latacz et al.EDITORBOOKKommentar2009

    At the centre of the commentary on Book 19 of the Iliad is the interpretation of the speeches and events at the assembly of the Achaean army at which the argument between Achilles and Agamemnon was settled, thus enabling the Achaeans to take the field in the decisive battle against Hector and the Trojans.

  • Homer's Iliad. Volume IV

    Magdalene Stoevesandt, Joachim Latacz et al.EDITORBOOKKommentar2008

    This commentary on the 6th book of the Iliad concentrates on the interpretation of two episodes which have received a great deal of scholarly attention: the encounter between Diomedes and Glaukos, which surprisingly ends with an exchange of weapons and not a duel, and the series of scenes ‘Hector in Troy’, which reveal the hero’s conflicting roles as defender of the city and father of his family.

  • Troy and Homer

    Joachim Latacz, Windle Kevin et al.BOOKTroy and Homer2004

    In this book Joachim Latacz turns the spotlight of modern research on the much-debated question of whether the wealthy city of Troy described by Homer in the Iliad was a poetic fiction or a memory of historical reality. Earlier excavations at the hill of Hisarlik, in Turkey, on the Dardanelles, brought no answer, but in 1988 a new archaeological enterprise, under the direction of Manfred Korfmann, led to a radical shift in understanding. Latacz, …
