Homer And Classical Philology
Friedrich Nietzsche
Narrator George Easton
Publisher: Interactive Media
Summary
Nietzsche argues that Homer's poetry represents the pinnacle of ancient Greek culture and embodies the ideal of a harmonious and heroic society. However, he also challenges the traditional views of classical philology that have portrayed Homer as a mere historian or chronicler of events, and instead sees him as a visionary poet who transcends the boundaries of history and time. Overall, Homer and Classical Philology offers a thought-provoking analysis of one of the most influential literary figures in history, and sheds light on the enduring relevance of classical philology in contemporary society. Read in English, unabridged.
