These nine essays examine Homeric themes of honor, fame and rewards primarily in the context of modern film, especially in such works as Troy, The Gunfighter and even Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life. Editor Myrsiades (comparative literature, Wets Chester U.) has gathered essays from scholars such as Rich Newton and Bruce Louden to provide students and scholars with analyses that mate themes and phrases from the Odyssey and the Iliad to "the intertwining spheres of love and battle" in a variety of films. The first four essays are devoted to interpreting key passages and themes in Homer's work that have perplexed scholars for centuries. Distributed by Associated University Presses.
