{"product_id":"homer-the-theologian-robert-lamberton-9780520066076","title":"Homer the Theologian: Neoplatonist Allegorical Reading and the Growth of the Epic Tradition","description":"Here is the first survey of the surviving evidence for the growth, development, and influence of the Neoplatonist allegorical reading of the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOdyssey.\u003c\/i\u003e Professor Lamberton argues that this tradition of reading was to create new demands on subsequent epic and thereby alter permanently the nature of European epic. The Neoplatonist reading was to be decisive in the birth of allegorical epic in late antiquity and forms the background for the next major extension of the epic tradition found in Dante.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Lamberton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520066073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520066076\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 04\/20\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.12w x 0.94d","brand":"Robert Lamberton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919933702399,"sku":"9780520066076","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_143d3968-ac4d-45b9-b9b7-deddd46b90dc.jpg?v=1680812720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homer-the-theologian-robert-lamberton-9780520066076","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
