Title: Celebrating Homer's landscapes
First published: 1998
Description: In this beautiful and engaging book, an eminent authority on Homeric texts takes us on a tour of the main localities that Homer paints so vividly in his Iliad and Odyssey. Providing numerous photographs of the terrain and quoting liberally from the two epics, J. V. Luce argues convincingly that Homer's descriptions of the ancient landscape, far from being poetic fantasies, are accurate in every detail.

Luce's book is a significant contribution for specialists and a delightful companion for readers of Homer or visitors to the ancient sites.
