Description: A very important book for the serious student of Homer, the great Greek poet, author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. The author is a classics professor with a fine writing style and a very stimulating thesis, namely that Homer understood the outer world and man's place in it by analogy; this is the foundation of a (broadly speaking) symbol system based on solar phenomena.The book is hard to find, expensive to buy.
