Homer's People: Epic Poetry and Social Formation
Follow Just A Girl High on Books for more reviews.
So I read this book as part of a coursework and well, it was a pretty decent read.
Pros:
- the book showed its arguments very clearly. I didn't have to search the entire book to find out what the author is exactly saying.
- the arguments were always substantiated with evidence so even if I hadn't read the Greek plays, I would understand what she is trying to say.
Cons:
- Well, the arguments were always substantiated with evidences from the Greek plays, and eh, no one has read ALL of them to understand every single thing, right? Things didn't make sense because of this at some points.
Verdict:
Pretty decent read. Can't judge it much but yeah, it was good.
