This book focuses on the similarities and differences between the uses of prepositions in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and those used in the Argonautica of Apollonius Rhodius. The author provides a detailed examination of various prepositions, such as anti, ana, and hypo, illustrating their usage through numerous examples from both sets of texts. This comparative approach allows readers to appreciate the nuances of prepositional usage in Homer and Apollonius and to understand how Apollonius, a later writer, utilized and adapted the Homeric tradition.
