The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales: The <i>Iliad,</i> the <i>Odyssey,</i> and the Migration of Myth - ISBN: 9781594770524
For years scholars have debated the geographical incongruities in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Using meticulous analysis, Felice Vinci convincingly argues that Homer's epic tales originated not in the Mediterranean, but in the northern Baltic Sea, allowing us to reconsider the age-old question of Indo-European diaspora and the origin of the Greek civilization from a new perspective.
