''The Growth of the Homeric Poems'' is a scholarly work by George Wilkins that delves into the origin and authorship of the Homeric poems, specifically the Iliad and the Odyssey. The book is a comprehensive discussion of the historical and literary context in which these epic poems were created, and the various theories that have been proposed to explain their development over time. Wilkins explores the question of whether the Homeric poems were the work of a single author or the result of a collaborative effort spanning several generations. He examines the evidence from ancient Greek literature, including the works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns, as well as the archaeological record and linguistic analysis. The book also considers the role of oral tradition in the composition and transmission of the Homeric poems, and the ways in which they were adapted and revised over time. Wilkins examines the various episodes and characters in the Iliad and the Odyssey, analyzing their significance and how they contribute to the overall themes and structure of the poems. Overall, ''The Growth of the Homeric Poems'' is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Greek literature, providing a detailed and nuanced analysis of one of the most important works in Western literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
