Ulysses Homer: Or A Discovery Of The True Author Of The Iliad And Odyssey (1829)

Ulysses Homer: Or A Discovery Of The True Author Of The Iliad And Odyssey is a book written by Constantine Koliades and published in 1829. The book presents a theory that the ancient Greek poet Homer was not the true author of the epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, but rather they were written by a single author named Ulysses. Koliades argues that the two poems have a consistent style and narrative that suggests a single author, rather than the composite work of multiple poets over many years. The book provides evidence from ancient sources, including the works of Aristotle and Plato, to support this theory. Koliades also explores the historical context of the poems, including the Trojan War and the cultural and political climate of ancient Greece. The book is a controversial and thought-provoking work that challenges traditional assumptions about the authorship of two of the most famous works of Western literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
