Virgil Recomposed: The Mythological and Secular Centos in Antiquity Book

Useful for the expert, accessible to the nonscholar, though the nonscholar may want to skip some bits. Well researched and argued.

I find the two surviving poems attributed to Homer - the Iliad and the Odyssey - fascinating for the details they recall of Mycenaean Greece. The poems were part of an epic cycle that embraced all Greek mythology, but the other poems of the cycle have survived only in the fragments collected in this book, which don't amount to much, and it was tantalizing to reread them in this new edition. One day perhaps more will be recovered, perhaps from the carbonized scrolls that have been found at Herculaneum and have not yet been read.
