Nisha Kothari
reviewed Homeric Seafaring (Ed Rachal Foundation Nautical Archaeolog Series) on July 12, 2013 Homeric Seafaring (Ed Rachal Foundation Nautical Archaeolog Series)
Great book to read as a companion to either Homeric Epics, but especially the Odyssey. A bit on the technical side throughout, but not overwhelmingly or off puttingly so.
The topics discussed range from archeology, the changes in ship design in the bronze and archaic ages, etymology, geography and ethnography. Peppered throughout are summations of existing scholarly opinions in these fields and the author does a good job of addressing them in an even handed fashion.
A very good read!
