''A tour de force by a mature and versatile scholar who, like Dante's Virgil, guides us through the archaeological, historical and oral literary evidence surrounding the two great Homeric song poems. Michael Cosmopoulos helps us recognize the enduring human truths that the Iliad and Odyssey still hold for us. Tom Palaima, Robert M. Armstrong Professor of Classics, University of Texas 'Rich in factual detail, Michael Cosmopoulos's book is a beautiful synthesis of the overall 'world of Homer,' viewed by a multidisciplinary expert who has succeeded in communicating his vast knowledge of Homeric archaeology, anthropology, and philology with non-experts as well as experts.' Gregory Nagy, Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature, Harvard University
