Books in the The Center for Hellenic Studies Colloquia (HUP) series

Perspectives on Homer and other traditional epics are explored in this volume. The nine essays that make up this volume focus on the performance and the audience perception of oral poetry.

The product of a colloquium at Harvard's Center for Hellenic Studies, this volume offers a broadly based, comparative examination of war and military organization in their complex interactions with social, economic, and political structures as well as cultural practices.
