{"product_id":"homer-the-preclassic-gregory-nagy-9780520256927","title":"Homer the Preclassic: Volume 67","description":"\u003ci\u003eHomer the Preclassic\u003c\/i\u003e considers the development of the Homeric poems-in particular the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e-during the time when they were still part of the oral tradition. Gregory Nagy traces the evolution of rival \"Homers\" and the different versions of Homeric poetry in this pretextual period, reconstructed over a time frame extending back from the sixth century BCE to the Bronze Age. Accurate in their linguistic detail and surprising in their implications, Nagy's insights conjure the Greeks' nostalgia for the imagined \"epic space\" of Troy and for the resonances and distortions this mythic past provided to the various Greek constituencies for whom the Homeric poems were so central and definitive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Nagy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520256921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520256927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.50d","brand":"Gregory Nagy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064998310143,"sku":"9780520256927","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_12ef8c5e-05c0-48be-ab84-600d85937742.jpg?v=1768672458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homer-the-preclassic-gregory-nagy-9780520256927","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
