The World of Homer

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of Homeric civilization, the book argues against the notion that it is merely a fictional creation. It posits that the vibrant world depicted by Homer was indeed real, shaped by distinct historical cultures. Recent archaeological discoveries have illuminated the Aegean or Minoan culture preceding Homer and the subsequent Dark Ages, revealing a complex tapestry of influences. By examining the interplay of four distinct ages and the peoples involved, the author seeks to establish a genuine historical foundation for the Homeric narrative.
