In 'Homer and His Age', Andrew Lang examines the controversy surrounding the authorship of Homer's epic poems. Lang argues that the fallacy of the analytical reader, who expects a level of consistency beyond the intended audience of the poet, is at the root of many objections to the idea that only Homer and no other author wrote his poems. Lang explores the way of life described in the poems, demonstrating that it reflects a single brief age of culture. He urges readers not to be swayed by dogmatic assumptions about the most fashionable hypothesis, but to approach the study of Homer with the scientific spirit of comparison, logic, and economy of conjecture.

A theorist who believes that the Homeric poems are the growth of four changefulcenturies, must present a definite working hypothesis as to how they escaped fromcertain influences of the late age in which much of them is said to have beencomposed. We must first ask to what manner of audiences did the poets sing, in thealleged four centuries of the evolution of the Epics. Mr. Leaf, as a champion of thetheory of ages of "expansion," answers that "the Iliad and Odyssey are essentially, and above all, Court poems. They were composed to be sung in the palaces of aruling aristocracy ... the poems are aristocratic and courtly, not popular." {Footnote: Companion to the Iliad, pp. 2,8. 1892.} They are not Volkspoesie; they are not ballads."It is now generally recognised that this conception is radically false."These opinions, in which we heartily agree-there never was such athing as a "popular" Epic-were published fourteen years ago. Mr.Leaf, however, would not express them with regard to "our" Iliad andOdyssey, because, in his view, a considerable part of the Iliad, asit stands, was made, not by Court bards in the Achaean courts of Europe, not for an audience of noble warriors and dames, but by wanderingminstrels in the later Ionian colonies of Asia. They did not chant for amilitary aristocracy, but for the enjoyment of town and country folk atpopular festivals. {Footnote: Iliad, vol. i. p. xvi. 1900.} The poemswere begun, indeed, he thinks, for "a wealthy aristocracy livingon the product of their lands," in European Greece; were begun bycontemporary court minstrels, but were continued, vastly expanded, andaltered to taste by wandering singers and reciting rhapsodists, whoamused the holidays of a commercial, expansive, and bustling Ioniandemocracy. {Footnote: Companion to the Iliad, p. II.}We must suppose that, on this theory, the later poets pleased acommercial democracy by keeping up the tone that had delighted an oldland-owning military aristocracy. It is not difficult, however, to admitthis as possible, for the poems continued to be admired in all ages ofGreece and under every form of society. The real question is, would themodern poets be the men to keep up a tone some four or five centuriesold, and to be true, if they were true, to the details of the heroicage? "It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that some part of themost primitive Iliad may have been actually sung by the court minstrelin the palace whose ruins can still be seen in Mycena

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
