《荷马史诗中的生与死》
内容简介
本书是二十世纪荷马研究最重要的论著之一，最初出版于1980年。在当时的荷马研究中，迈锡尼的土地所有制、青铜时代的考古发掘、程式化用语的纷繁细节，这些专门且技术性的问题，几乎挤掉了诗歌的位置。而本书作者加斯帕·格里芬则把荷马史诗重新作为伟大的文学作品带到人们面前。作者回到朴素的文本细读的研究方式，但又并非凭空的奇思妙想，而是以极多的学术证据为支撑。尤其是他重点讨论荷马史诗中的生死与神灵，这些正是古代希腊思想极具特色的领域，因此作者的这种解读既使我们进一步领略荷马史诗的好处，也可以从中获得对于现代生活的启示。

Life and Death in Homer
Content introduction
One of the most important works on Homer in the twentieth century, it was originally published in 1980. In the study of Homer at that time, the specialized and technical problems of Mycenaean land tenure, Bronze Age archaeological excavations, and the intricate details of formulaic terminology almost crowded out the place of poetry. The author of this book, Gaspar Griffin, brings Homer back to the world as a great work of literature. The author returns to the simple study method of close reading of the text, but it is not a whimsy out of thin air, but supported by a great deal of academic evidence. In particular, he focuses on the life and death and the gods in Homer's epics, which are very characteristic areas of ancient Greek thought. Therefore, this interpretation of the author not only makes us further understand the benefits of Homer's epics, but also can get enlightenment for modern life.
