Themes of the Trojan Cycle: Contribution to the study of the greek mythological tradition Paperback - 2016

by Miguel Carvalho Abrantes


From the publisher

The story of the Trojan War presented in the Iliad and the Odyssey, attributed to Homer, is incomplete. This book completes it.
Originally presented as a thesis in the University of Coimbra (Portugal), this book reconstructs the plot of the Trojan War between the Iliad and the Odyssey. In order to do so, it uses the direct knowledge the authors of the Antiquity had of those subjects, but also iconographic sources, presenting them all and showing how they contribute to a faithful reconstruction of the Trojan Cycle, as it was known over 2000 years ago. Among the episodes reconstructed here are, for example, the battle against Penthesilea, the death of Achilles and the famous ruse of the Trojan Horse.
This is a work interesting not only for those who already read the Iliad and the Odyssey, but also for everyone who has some interest in Greek and Roman Mythology.

About the author

Miguel Carvalho Abrantes lives near Lisboa (Portugal). He is a PhD candidate in Classics, but he has many interests in life - Ethnography, Comparative Mythology, Philosophy, finding unusual places to visit, and old books - and that's what his works are all about, sharing his passions and knowledge with others. From his "What to Visit in Portugal" collection, filled with native insider tips and obscure places to visit; up to his advanced "Themes of the Trojan Cycle", a Master thesis planned to complement the storyline of the Homeric Epics; along with his satirical works on love; his compilation of Portuguese poetry, the "Parnaso"; and multiple translations of primary sources; there is something for everyone in his books!
