Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Homer in Chios: An Epopee Homer, the poet, having returned in old age to Chios, his birth-place, an island not far from the coast of Asia Minor, tells the story of his early life to his pupils. Two chief influences wrought upon his child hood. The first was that of the smith, Chalcon, who was both artisan and artist - both vocations in early times were united in one man - and who revealed to the budding poet the forms of the Gods. The second in fluence was that of his mother, Cretheis (name given by Herodotus, Vita Horn). She was the depository of fable and folklore, which she told to her boy in the spirit of a poet, and which are the chief materials of his two great poems. So Homer reaches back to his earliest years by the aid of Mnemosyne (memory), who according to Hesiod (Theogon. 915)was the mother of the Nine Muses.
