Homer and His Age by Andrew Lang Pdf

In 'Homer and His Age', Andrew Lang examines the controversy surrounding the authorship of Homer's epic poems. Lang argues that the fallacy of the analytical reader, who expects a level of consistency beyond the intended audience of the poet, is at the root of many objections to the idea that only Homer and no other author wrote his poems. Lang explores the way of life described in the poems, demonstrating that it reflects a single brief age of culture. He urges readers not to be swayed by dogmatic assumptions about the most fashionable hypothesis, but to approach the study of Homer with the scientific spirit of comparison, logic, and economy of conjecture.

Homer and His Age by Andrew Lang Pdf

The aim of this book is to prove that the Homeric Epics, as wholes, and apart from passages gravely suspected in antiquity, present a perfectly harmonious picture of the entire life and civilisation of one single age. The faint variations in the design are not greater than such as mark every moment of culture, for in all there is some movement; in all, cases are modified by circumstances. If our contention be true, it will follow that the poems themselves, as wholes, are the product of a single age, not a mosaic of the work of several changeful centuries.

HOMER and HIS AGE (Annotated) by Andrew Lang Pdf

In Homer and the Epic, ten or twelve years ago, I examined the literary objections to Homeric unity. These objections are chiefly based on alleged discrepancies in the narrative, of which no one poet, it is supposed, could have been guilty. The critics repose, I venture to think, mainly on a fallacy. We may style it the fallacy of "the analytical reader."

Excerpt from Homer and His Age The unity of the Epics is not so important a topic as the methods of criticism. They ought to be sober, logical, and self-consistent. When these qualities are absent, Homeric criticism may be described, in the recent words of Blass, as a swamp haunted by wan dering fires, will 0' the wisps.
