What reading level is The Unity of Homer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Would thi >f Penelope daring those twenty yean have been more hitter if at the end Odvsseus had not returned . ' \\Y can look at the outcome and anticipate sorrow or comfort thereby, but Penelope, Hector, and Andromache could not. The poet chose to paint their feelings rather than ours. This, it seems to me, is the essence of the whole matter: the poet preferred to picture the emotions of the actual participants in the action of the poem rather than those of the hearer or the reader.
Homer has ...such a perfect parallel to this part- ing scene and its delayed fulfillment that it is strange these disintegrators overlooked it. The parting of Calypso and Odysseus is, on her part at least, closely akin to the one in the sixth book of the Iliad. How a modern poet would view tl. Scene and where he would put it is illustrated by Stephen Phillips ' Ulysses. In that play the p sionate farewells are spoken on the shor Dur- ing their utterance Ulysses embarks, speaking his final words from the deck of the moving ship, which slowly fades from the sight of the dis- tracted goddess.
