El Mundo De Homero by John Freely
A lively exploration of the historical, geographical and cultural background of the Homeric epics that combines archaeological evidence, travel observation and literary analysis to reconstruct the Late Bronze Age Mediterranean world behind the Iliad and the Odyssey. It maps the landscapes, cities and sea routes of the eastern Aegean, discusses Mycenaean civilization and Troy, and explains how oral-poetic traditions, material culture and seafaring life shaped the stories and characters we know. The narrative shows how the epics preserve memories of real social practices—kingship, warfare, hospitality and trade—while tracing how Homeric imagery was remembered and reinterpreted through later centuries.
