Bozzone, Chiara (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen)
An accessible, up-to-date, and innovative account of key features of Homer's poetry (formularity, meter, and dialect). This book is informed by contemporary linguistics and cognitive sciences, and leverages unexpected modern-day parallels (popular music, jazz improvisation, sports commentary) to illustrate Homer's creativity.
