The World of Odysseus
Literature奥德修斯的世界
(english) M. I. Finley
What kind of society does Homer describe? What do Odysseus, Achilles, and Hector think about class, community, and religion? "The World of Odysseus" provides an accurate and profound depiction of the ancient social scene that gave birth to the two great epics "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey". It is a work that vividly depicts the "Dark Ages" of Greece and its family and kinship communities, morals and values. First published in 1954, it is a pioneering work in the study of the social history of the ancient world. This book not only provides a panoramic view of early Greek society, but also provides a wealth of reference materials, which is of great reference value for both professional scholars and general readers.
