FOLIT-WEINBERG, B., Homer, Parmenides, and the Road to Demonstration. Cambridge University Press, 2022. 348p. Hardback. Series: Cambridge Classical Studies. It is widely agreed that Parmenides invented extended deductive argumentation and the practice of demonstration, a transformative event in the history of thought. But how did he manage this seminal accomplishment? In this book, Benjamin Folit-Weinberg finally provides an answer. At the heart of this story is the image of the hodos, the road and the journey. Brilliantly deploying the tools and insights of literary criticism, conceptual history, and archaeology, Folit-Weinberg illuminates how Parmenides adopts and adapts this image from Homer, especially the Odyssey, forging from it his pioneering intellectual approaches. Reinserting Parmenides into the physical world and poetic culture of archaic Greece, Folit-Weinberg reveals both how deeply traditional and how radical was Parmenides' new way of thinking and speaking. By taking this first step toward providing a history of the concept method, this volume uncovers the genealogy of philosophy in poetry and poetic imagery.

LEAF, W., Homer, the Iliad: Volume 1, Books I–XII, Part 0. Cambridge University Press, 2010. 644p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Library Collection - Classics. Walter Leaf (1852–1927) was a banker and classicist, whose various positions as chairman of the Westminster Bank, founder of the London Chamber of Commerce and president of the Hellenic Society reflected his wide-ranging professional and scholarly interests. Leaf was educated at Harrow School and won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1870. He became senior classic in 1874 and was elected to a fellowship the following year. As a scholar Leaf was concerned with uncovering the physical reality of the classical world, a stance which set him apart from Jane Harrison and the Cambridge Ritual School. Leaf's The Iliad, with introduction and notes, first appeared in two volumes (1886–1888), and was regarded for several decades as the best English edition of Homer's epic poem. Volume 1 of the 1900 edition comprises Leaf's preface, an introduction to books 1-12 of the poem, and the annotated text. (Publisher's information). € 50.97 (New) (MD)

GRAZIOSI, B., Homer. Oxford University Press, 2016. 176p. Hardback. The author has perfectly mastered the material under investigation and, even when speaking of allusions in the Homeric text to other myths, she does not generally force the interpretation in an attempt to establish improbable chronologies... it is easy to appreciate Graziosi's clarity of presentation and ability to offer precise and brief definitions... the book constitutes not only an accurate critical evaluation of Homeric studies for the benefit of scholars, but also a valuable and accessible introduction to the subject for non-specialist readers.

GRAZIOSI, Barabara, Homer. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2016. 2nd impr. X,154p. Hardbound with dust wrps. ''Homer' is a book written by Barbara Graziosi in the setting of the research project Living Poets: 'A New Approach to Ancient Poetry (Living Poets)'. The project, financed by the European Research Council, proposes to investigate how, over the centuries, readers imagined the classical poets, and how the biographies and representations they produced influenced the comprehension of the works of these poets, reconfiguring their value and meaning as a function of specific historical-cultural contexts. The application of this investigative scheme to Homer, a poet that many readers know “primarily through echoes and refractions in other poems, novels, plays, and works of art – as well as through the ubiquitous myth of the author” (p. 2), has two fundamental objectives, clearly indicated in the “Introduction”: to provide an overall view of Homeric studies, examining the basic questions about the author of the poems, their composition and transmission; to show how certain images of Homer conditioned the interpretation of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and how ancient and modern readers approached Homer considering him as a “living poet”, constantly present in the Western collective conscience. This declaration of intent indicates that Homer represents the natural end point of a research path that, in her previous works, has led Barbara Graziosi to investigate the invention of Homer as an “author” and the ancient reception of the Homeric poems; the “resonance of epic” in the more general context of a unified history of the cosmos; and the reception of Homer in the twentieth century. 'Homer' is divided into three parts, dealing with the poet, the 'Iliad' and the 'Odyssey' respectively. (...) Compared to other books by Barbara Graziosi, especially Homer: The Resonance of Epic, 'Homer' is less ambitious but more thorough and more balanced. The author has perfectly mastered the material under investigation and, even when speaking of allusions in the Homeric text to other myths, she does not generally force the interpretation in an attempt to establish improbable chronologies. (...) The book constitutes not only an accurate critical evaluation of Homeric studies for the benefit of scholars, but also a valuable and accessible introduction to the subject for non-specialist readers.'
