ESSAY ON: J. Griffin/Homer on Life & Death

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page book review that discusses Jasper Griffin's text Homer on Life and Death (1983). The writer argues that this text provides a fascinating commentary on the Iliad, Homer's epic poem that depicted the Trojan War. While Homer's work has been addressed extensively over the course of the centuries, Griffin gives it new life by pointing out the themes that Homer was trying to convey about human existence and mortality. At one point, Griffin writes that the principal theme of the Iliad is death, rather than combat, and specifically about "life and death," contrasted with the greatest possible sharpness. No additional sources cited.
