Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode etc. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket With 142 illustrations, 14 in colour, 5 maps and plans. How reliable is the tradition embodied in the Homeric poems? Their basic historicity was widely accepted in the ancient world; but does research in more modern times support this view? Professor Luce examines in detail the world of Homer through literary and archaeological evidence. In his most readable survey Professor Luce displays the evidence for and the interpretations of a truly Heroic Age.
