In case you've ever wondered where we got the information for the Fall of Troy after the events in Homer's Iliad, this book details the events up to and including the destruction of Troy. Smyrnaeus gathered together ancient accounts still extant in approx. 375 AD and wove a story trying, and doing so poorly, to imitate Homer. Still, it is entertaining and ties up loose ends. Here is Achilles battling and killing the Queen of the Amazons, Achilles's death, the contest over his armor between Odysseus and Ajax and the Trojan Horse. Worth reading.

Quintus Smyrnaeus' Posthomerica, the only long mythological epic to survive in Greek from the period between Apollonius' Argonautica (3rd century BC) and Nonnus' Dionysiaca (5th century AD), fills in the whole story of the Trojan expedition between the end of Homer's Iliad and the beginning of the Odyssey, which had been treated only episocially by earlier epic and dramatic poets. Composing sometime between the late second and mid-fourth centuries AD, Quintus boldly adapts Homeric diction and style to suit the literary, moral, religious, rhetorical, and philosophical culture of the high Roman Empire and does not hesitate to diverge from the usual versions of the story in order to craft his own narrative vision Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
