A Vindication Of Homer And Of The Ancient Poets And Historians

""A Vindication of Homer and of the Ancient Poets and Historians: Who Have Recorded the Siege and Fall of Troy, in Answer to Two Late Publications of Mr. Bryant"" is a book written by John Bacon Sawrey Morritt in 1798. The book is a response to two publications by Jacob Bryant, who had questioned the historical accuracy of Homer's epic poems and the accounts of other ancient poets and historians regarding the Trojan War. Morritt argues that the events described in these works are based on historical facts and that they should not be dismissed as mere myths or legends. He presents evidence from various sources, including archaeological discoveries and ancient texts, to support his argument. The book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the historical accuracy of ancient literature and its relevance to modern scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
