BROMMER, Fr., Odysseus. Die Taten und Leiden des Helden in antiker Kunst und Literatur. Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, Darmstadt, 1983. X,132,(48)p. ills.(line drawings and B/W photographs). Cloth.'This is a companion volume to the 'Theseus' (...). The intention and achievement are the same - a concise and well documented (if only by allusion) account of the ancient evidence for the story of Odysseus in literature and art, the literature summarised, the art described. Deeper interpretation of the figure and scenes is avoided, so the book will only be outdated by the arrival of new evidence, and not throught the unfashionableness of any of its views.' (JOHN BOARDMAN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1985, p.208). € 23.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9783534094004
