Description
Homeric Society: A Sociological Study Of The Iliad And Odyssey is a book written by Albert Galloway Keller that analyzes the society depicted in the epic poems of Homer, namely the Iliad and the Odyssey. The book is a sociological study that delves into the social structure, values, and beliefs of the ancient Greeks as portrayed in the Homeric epics. The author explores various aspects of Homeric society, including the roles of men and women, the warrior culture, the importance of hospitality, the concept of honor and shame, and the relationship between gods and mortals. Keller argues that the Homeric society was hierarchical, with a clear distinction between the ruling class and the common people. He also suggests that the Homeric poems reflect the values and beliefs of the aristocratic class, who were the primary audience for these works.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of Homeric society. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including the Homeric poems themselves, as well as archaeological and historical evidence, to support his arguments. Overall, Homeric Society: A Sociological Study Of The Iliad And Odyssey is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the social and cultural context of the Homeric epics. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the ancient Greek world, as well as those interested in the study of literature, sociology, and anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
