Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Fine condition black linen boards, white spine lettering, with red and black circular spine decoration contained in a very good condition price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction and Index. Translated, and with an Introduction and Notes by Frederick M. Combellack. "Homer's great epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, are widely read and enjoyed both in the original Greek and in translation, but many readers have felt, with reaon, that the Iliad is incomplete. It ends, for example, when Achilles is still alive and Troy is still uncaptured; and the Odyssey begins with the departure of the Greek Army from Troy. The omission caused no problem in Homer's time, for the story was well known; but as the centuries passed and the details faded from men's minds, something was needed to fill the gap. Undoubtedly Quintus of Smyrna wrote his chronicle for that very purpose. Quintus' epic, written probably in the third century after Christ, is the only extant literary work from antiquity which give a connected account of the events of the Trojan war which took palce between the death of Hector and the departure of the Greeks. It tells what happened to Achilles and to Troy, and many other things besides - among them the fatal enterprises of the Queen of the Amazons and the King of Ethiopia, the funeral games held in Achilles' honor, the victory of Odysseus in his contest with Aias for Achilles' splendid armor, the death of Paris, the strategy of the wooden horse, and the capture and sack of Troy. This translation was undertaken, says Mr. Combellack, to "provide a version of Quintus in English prose suitable for our own time," for the only version hitherto available in English was published more than fifty years ago (Vero Beach Books Note: as of 1968) and is written in a "kind of blank verse, in a style now out of fashion." Mr. Combellack's accurate, readable prose translation retains the spirit of the original, and will be welcomed not only by scholars but by all who have an intellectual interest in the heroic age and the epics which have celebrated it." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. …

Pictorial hardback in mint condition, no Dj cover as issued. Illustrated with colour drawings, b/w map. The book is new. 394pp. This is another paragraph Book Description: The story of Troy speaks to all of us - the kidnapping of Helen, a queen celebrated for her beauty, sees the Greeks launch a thousand ships against that great city, to which they will lay siege for ten whole and very bloody years. It is Zeus, the king of the gods, who triggers war when he asks the Trojan prince Paris to judge the fairest goddess of them all. Aphrodite bribes Paris with the heart of Helen, wife of King Menelaus of the Greeks, and naturally, nature takes its course. It is a terrible, brutal war with casualties on all sides. The Greeks cannot defeat the Trojans - since Achilles, the Greek's boldest warrior, is consumed with jealousy over an ally's choice of lover, the Trojan slave Briseis, and will not fight . . . The stage is set for the oldest and greatest story ever told, where monstrous passions meet the highest ideals and the lowest cunning. In Troy you will find heroism and hatred, love and loss, revenge and regret, desire and despair. It is these human passions, written bloodily in the sands of a distant shore, that still speak to us today. Troy is a myth in which we seek the truth about ourselves, which Stephen Fry brings breathtakingly to life for our modern age. PRAISE FOR MYTHOS AND HEROES. Signed by Author(s).…

Classic cover design w/bold white titles over wrap-around midnight blue shot of large stone cross along ruddy rolling pathway by Brian Skilton. Rare near fine first edition in same wrapper. The fascinating revelation of one of the greatest ancient mysteries. Arguing that the events described in The Iliad and The Odyssey happened not in the Eastern Mediterranean, but in North-West Europe and North Atlantic, Iman Wilkens goes further than merely tracing connections between Britain and Troy. The Homeric tales, Wilkins claims, do not fit the topography, geology, climate or oceanic tidal patterns of the Eastern Mediterranean. He posits that Aegean/Mediterranean place-names, like the European names in North America (Washington, Troy, Cambridge, Briton, etc.) were established much later. By examining the texts in detail, Iman Wilkens, identifies over 400 place-names in western Europe and concludes that the original oral version was composed by Homer several hundred years before it was written down. Wilkins reveals the Trojan War was fought on a far larger scale than previously considered, by Celts from regions as far apart as Scandinavia and Spain, and that the Odyssey provided an oral map for Celtic seafarers. An extraordinary and enlightening journey into prehistory as exciting as the voyage of Odysseus. Many of the puzzling aspects of Homer's epic fall into place and enable the reader to grasp the meaning and significance of Europe's oldest literary masterpieces. Features appendices, a detailed bibliography and index. 365 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…
