Frame takes up subjects such as the evidence for Nestor's Indo-European origins; the related origins of the Greek word \u003ci\u003enoos, \u003c\/i\u003e \"mind\"; the Phaeacians in the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e as the key to the circumstances in which the Homeric poems were created; Nestor's role connecting the two poems into a one whole. Other essays in the collect break new ground with respect to the circumstances of the poems' performance; the purpose of the poems in their historical setting; the relation of the poems to other poetic monuments of the time; the reception of the poems in the Greek mainland after their origin in Ionia; and a closer tracking of the Indo-European origins of the figure \u003ci\u003ehippota Nestor, \u003c\/i\u003e \"the horseman Nestor,\" in light of the invention of the chariot in the Russian steppes c. 2000 BCE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Frame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067430554X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674305540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Alexandria Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Douglas Frame","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965067575551,"sku":"9780674305540","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8345e881-439a-426d-8fd6-782a26a4581a.jpg?v=1767278197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hippota-nestor-and-beyond-douglas-frame-9780674305540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
