AHRENSDORF, P.J.,
Homer on the Gods and Human Virtue. Creating the Foundations of Classical Civilization.
Cambridge University Press, New York, 2014. X,271p. Original gilt titled black cloth with dust wrps. 'Peter Ahrensdorf's Homer on the Gods and Human Virtue is a profound and moving book. His argument will provoke healthy controversy. It will also demand respect for its meticulous attention to intellectual history and scholarly disputes, its fair-mindedness, and its gravitas. The book is gracefully written and intensely argued, exemplifying the courageous wisdom of the poet Homer and the warrior Achilles in reflecting on questions of justice, divine providence, human mortality and human happiness.'
