Homer and the Heroic Age by John Victor Luce Pdf

How reliable is the tradition embodied in the Homeric poems? Their basic historicity was widely accepted in the ancient world: Thucydides and Plato used Homeric data in reconstructing early Greek history and territorial claims could be supported by reference to the epic traditions. Does research in more modern times support this view? Professor Luce examines in detail the world of Homer through the literary and archeological evidence. In the years since Schliemann's first soundings on the site of Troy, archeological investigations in Greek lands and on the Aegean coast of Turkey have been numerous and productive. The most important result of this activity has been the establishment of a tantalizingly cogent basis for the Greek heroic legends. In this most readable survey Professor Luce displays the evidence for and the interpretations of a truly golden Heroic Age. -- From publisher's description.

Homer and His Age by Andrew Lang Pdf

Poets of an uncritical age do not archaise. This rule is overlooked by the critics whorepresent the Homeric poems as a complex of the work of many singers in many ages. Forexample, Professor Percy Gardner, in his very interesting New chapters in Greek History(1892), carries neglect of the rule so far as to suppose that the late Homeric poets, beingaware that the ancient heroes could not ride, or write, or eat boiled meat, consciously andpurposefully represented them as doing none of these things. This they did "on the sameprinciple on which a writer of pastoral idylls in our own day would avoid the mention ofthe telegraph or telephone." {Footnote: Op. cit., p. 142.} "A writer of our own day,"-there isthe pervading fallacy! It is only writers of the last century who practise this archaeologicalrefinement. The authors of Beowulf and the Nibelungenlied, of the Chansons de Geste and ofthe Arthurian romances, always describe their antique heroes and the details of their life inconformity with the customs, costume, and armour of their own much later ages.But Mr. Leaf, to take another instance, remarks as to the lack of the metal lead in theEpics, that it is mentioned in similes only, as though the poet were aware the metal wasunknown in the heroic age. {Footnote: Iliad, Note on, xi. 237.} Here the poet is assumed tobe a careful but ill-informed archaeologist, who wishes to give an accurate representationof the past. Lead, in fact, was perfectly familiar to the Mycenaean prime. {Footnote: Tsountas and Manatt, p. 73.} The critical usage of supposing that the ancients were like themost recent moderns-in their archaeological preoccupations-is a survival of theuncritical habit which invariably beset old poets and artists. Ancient poets, of the uncriticalages, never worked "on the same principle as a writer in our day," as regardsarchaeological precision; at least we are acquainted with no example of such accuracy
