DESCRIPTION
The Greek Epic Cycle (Bristol Classical Paperbacks)
In the wake of Homer's "Ilid"and "Odysey" poets of the seventh and sixth centuries
BC composed epics which covered other parts of the Trojan War story or different areas of Greek
mythology. Quotations from them and other testimonies as to their content survive in later authors and
the evidence thus assembled allows us to reconstruct something of the poems' contents. Collectively
these poems came to be known by Hellenistic scholars in Alexandria as 'The Epic Cycle'. With their often
grotesque and fantastic tales, the cyclic poems were an important source for later writers of epic. Yet
they also present a wealth of fascinating mythological details in their own right and provide absorbing
variation on the traditional themes presented in Homer. Why are certain themes frequently used, while
others are neglected in various poems? Such considerations enhance an overall appreciation of epic
theme and outlook. This short study provides an introduction to the Cycle for students and scholars of
Greek epic, and of Classical civilisation and mythology more generally. All quotations are translated,
making the material accessible to those with little or no Greek.
