From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Somewhat rubbed jacket, allover very good and clean. / Etwas beriebener Umschlag, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - Homer the Theologian is the first survey of the surviving evidence for the growth, development, and influence of the Neoplatonist allegorical reading of the Iliad and Odyssey. By the time of Socrates, Homer had long been read and taught as an allegorical poet. Nevertheless, it is only with the Neoplatonists of the third to the sixth centuries of our era that we start to find surviving texts reflecting a largely coherent tradition of allegorical reading. Central to this reading is the conviction that Homer was a visionary sage with privileged information about the fate of souls and the structure of the universe, and that his poems convey this information behind a screen of allegory. Professor Lamberton argues that this tradition of reading was to create new demands on subsequent epic and thereby alter permanently the nature of European epic. The scope and thrust of the meaning of the Iliad and Odyssey developed by the Neoplatonists is echoed in the philosophical texts that kept Platonism alive in the Latin Middle Ages, when Homer's poems were not read. The Neoplatonist reading was to be decisive in the birth of allegorical epic in late antiquity and forms the background for the next major extension of the epic tradition found in Dante. - Robert Lamberton is a Senior Fellow at the Society of Fellows in the Humanities at Columbia University.
