Richardson Nicholas James (ed.). — Oxford University Press, 1974. — xiv, 365 p. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter has not previously been the subject of a separate commentary in English.

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1952. — IX, 102 p. My main assumption (that Homer wrote the Iliad substantially as we have it) is now almost fashionable. I like to think that this is not because we wish it was so, but because we begin to see more clearly the face of early Greece: while it was dawn, and while the bright day grew

Brill, 2021. — xii, 185 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements 444). The Odyssey is ‘ein Epos des Raums’. As the narrative unfolds, a number of speculative spaces are made vivid before the eyes of the audience: the locus amoenus surrounding Calypso’s cave, Alcinous’ palace, the landscape of Ithaca, and not least Odysseus’ megaron. The present study argues that the representation of space...
Brill, 1993. — xiv, 261 p. — (Mnemosyne, Supplements, 131). Homeric Morality is an attempt to answer two questions: whether or not the Homeric gods are concerned with 'justice' in human society, and what mechanism controls the social behaviour of Homeric man. It shows that the gods distribute good and bad fortune to men not in response to their moral behaviour, bus as required...

Переводчик: Кислякова Л. — М.: АСТ, 2009. — 352 с. — (10 книг, изменивших мир). Существовал ли Гомер в действительности? Историки по сей день не пришли к единому мнению на этот счет.
