Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Epic, an Essay, Vol. 5 As this essay is disposed to consider epic poetry as a species of literature, and not as a department of sociology or archoeology or ethnology, the reader will not find it anything material to the discussion which may be typified in those very interesting works, Gilbert Murray´s "The Rise of the Greek Epic" and Andrew Lang´s "The World of Homer." The distinction between a literary and a scientific attitude to Homer and all other "authentic" epic) is, I think, finally summed up in Mr. Mackail´s "Lectures on Greek Poetry"; the following pages, at any rate, assume that this is so. Theories about epic origins were therefore indifferent to my purpose. Besides, I do not see the need for any theories; I think it need only be said, of any epic poem whatever, that it was composed by a man and transmitted by men.
