Interpreting Homer in the 21st century asks for a holistic approach that allows us to reconsider some of our methodological tools and preconceptions concerning what we call Homeric poetry. The neoanalytical and oral 'booms', which have to a large extent influenced the way we see Homer today, may be re-evaluated if we are willing to endorse a more flexible approach to certain scholarly taboos pertaining to these two schools of interpretation. Song-traditions, formula, performance, multiformity on the one hand, and Motivforschung, Epic Cycle on the other, may not be so incompatible as we often tend to think.","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516448039255,"sku":"9783110271959","price":164.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/homeric-contexts-neoanalysis-and-the-interpretation-of-oral-poetry-9783110271959","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
