OXFORD READINGS IN CLASSICAL STUDIES Greek Religion Edited by Richard Buxton Homer’s Iliad Edited by Douglas L. All foreign languages (including Greek and Latin) are translated to make the texts easily accessible to those without detailed linguistic knowledge. This pulls the individual articles together, setting all the pieces included in their historical and cultural contexts and exploring significant connections between them from the perspective of contemporary scholarship.
Each volume includes an authoritative and wide-ranging introduction by the editor surveying the scholarly tradition and considering alternative approaches.
Many articles are thoroughly revised and updated by their authors or are provided with addenda taking account of recent work. The collections are particularly valuable for their inclusion of many important essays which are normally difficult to obtain and for the first-ever translations of some of the pieces.
No single school or style of approach is privileged: the aim is to offer a broad overview of scholarship, to cover a wide variety of topics, and to illustrate a diversity of critical methods.
