The Gods in Epic: Poets and Critics of the Classical Tradition

Clarendon Press (1993)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The role of the gods in the classical world's epic tradition has long been the subject of controversy. In the first book to discuss the problem of the gods across the entire classical literary tradition, rather than in a few individual works, Professor Feeney draws upon the writings of the ancient critics, and looks in detail at the work of the poets themselves.
