Its beauty and profound bleakness are intensely moving, but great questions remain: Where, how, and when was it composed and why does it endure?Robin Lane Fox addresses these questions, drawing on a lifelong love and engagement with the poem. He argues for a place, a date, and a method for its composition-subjects of ongoing controversy-combining the detailed expertise of a historian with a poetic readers sensitivity. Lane Fox considers hallmarks of the poem; its values, implicit and explicit; its characters; its women; its gods; and even its horses.Thousands of readers turn to the Iliad every year. Drawing on fifty years of reading and research, Lane Fox offers us a breathtaking tour of this magnificent text, revealing why the poem has endured for ages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974016565536,"sku":"NEW1541600444","price":29.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/homer-and-his-iliad-1541600444","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
