Yearbook of Ancient Greek Epic

Volume 5

Series: 

The fifth volume of the Yearbook of Ancient Greek Epic comprises five articles on epics dating from the Archaic to the Hellenistic period. Contributors move from the Iliad to the Odyssey to fragmentary epic and finally to Apollonius’s Argonautica. Well-known episodes receive innovative new interpretations, and hitherto overlooked items receive the attention they deserve.
