The first part of the book is a series of lectures on Greek poetic texts, ranging from
the archaic to the pre-Hellenistic age, i.e. from the eighth to the fourth century BC. The
main figures as well as their literary setting are discussed. Moreover, important topics
determining the literary output are evaluated, too, as, for instance, the opposition
between orality and literacy. The second part of the monograph consists of an introduction
to Homer’s Iliad. The pervading idea of this part is to show that Homer’s Iliad may
well be the work of a single poetic genius, able to include in his work much older and
orally conceived parts. This series of lectures provides a selection of classical texts
that presents typical examples of Greek poetry. Not only are passages explained and
commented on that are relevant to the European poetic tradition, but also a selection of
literary analysis and interpretation is provided that may help generally to understand
poetic texts. Since literary texts cannot be properly understood without their historical
background some basic material of that kind is also constantly provided. Last but not
least, broader issues are introduced: how is a text made, and in what way may it reflect
the audience’s expectations.
