Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Homer: An Address Delivered on Behalf of the Independent Labour Party The Name Of Homer Meet Us before the threshold of history, as one of those which for five-and-twenty centuries have dominated the world. The two great Homeric poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, influenced Greek life and letters, and through them the life and letters of the whole world after Greece, to a degree that is quite without parallel. Yet themselves they hardly belong to Greece. As a fine scholar has said of them, they stand in strange isolation, like an island near a continent. Nothing that preceded them has survived, and after them there is a chasm in our records; on the nearer as well as on the farther side of that island we come to sheer cliff and sundering waters. And the island is peopled by a race of its own: with affinities to the Greeks, yet not Greek; with a life larger, wider, more varied and more universal than any which has elsewhere been imagined or recorded. It is to these two poems, and to the life which they embody, that I desire to call your attention this evening; saying just so much about both, in the narrow limits at our disposal, as may I hope excite you to learn more.
