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 Mr. Bryant that questioned the historical accuracy of Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, and other ancient accounts of the Trojan War. Morritt argues that these works should be taken as historical records, and that they provide valuable insights into the culture and society of ancient Greece. He also defends the character of Homer and other ancient poets and historians, who he believes have been unfairly criticized by modern scholars. Overall, ""A Vindication of Homer and of the Ancient Poets and Historians"" is a passionate defense of the importance of ancient literature and history, and a call to take these works seriously as sources of knowledge and understanding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
