PART TWO
By: Anastasia Stamatopoulou
As it was already pointed out by our founder Ms. EVI MARTYN
in her introduction, the opinions are divided as to the existance of
HOMER.
1. There are about 27.800 verses, written with absolutely unique
concept, narrating a continuous story and independent ones!!
We also have many references of ancient writters, who are clear
and definite about The Man,!!
2. Some points of view, that Greeks had no writting at that time can
not convince logical persons!!! because it is impossible to save
thousands of verses.... orally!!! Again the opinions are divided
THE EPICS
ILYAD and ODYSSEY
a. Ilyad. Subject of the Ilyad is the happenings 51 days out of the
10 years of civil war.
Danae attack Troyans, but the siege of Troy is very hard. The
Gods who are watching them from above, they interfere, split
in favorable camps.!!! War, massacre, and death is everywhere
Yet, in all these scenes there is great tenderness, which brings
tears to the eyes of the readers.
b . Odyssey. Subject of the Odyssey is the adventurous return of
Odysseus in his native island Ithaca, ten years after war's end.
His wife, Penelope, is expecting him for 20 years. She is the
example of faithfullness. Many men of the island have
demanded to marry her, but she waited for Odysseus!!!!!
IS HOMER VALUABLE TODAY???
The epics provide information about, Geography, navigation,
commerce, medicine, social customs etc.
The social status of women appear to be much higher than
many societies today!!!!
Homer points out to those who complain that "their suffering
is a result of their own wrong doing".
An inscription dated the 1st Century AD says"
" The sky stars will probably turn off soon, rather than the
name of HOMER will be forgotten by men"!!!!!
Indeed! HOMER can still teach us a lot!!
He is our grandfather! with Maturity and Virtue
he will also be our Son.
