Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil - An Introduction

Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid are three of the most important--and influential--works of Western classical literature. Although they differ in subject matter and authorship, these epic poems share a common purpose: to tell the "deeds both of men and of the gods." Written in an accessible style and ideally suited for classroom use, Communication, Love, and Death in Homer and Virgil offers a unique comparative analysis of these classic works.
