The epic journey is central to the dynamics of classical literature, offering a powerful lens through which characters, authors, and readers experience their real and imaginary worlds. The journey informs questions of identity formation, narrative development, historical emplotment, and constructions of heroism - topics that move through and beyond the story itself. The act of moving to and from 'home' - both a fixed point of spatial orientation and a transportable set of cultural values - thus represents a physical journey and an intellectual process. In exploring its many manifestations, the chapters in this collection reconceive the centrality of the epic journey across a wide variety of genres and historical contexts, from Homer to the moon. 650 0 $a Travel in literature. 650 0 $a Greek literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Latin literature $x History and criticism. 700 1 $a Biggs, Thomas $c (Classicist) $e editor. 700 1 $a Blum, Jessica, $e editor. 776 08 $i Electronic version : $t Epic Journey in Greek and Roman Literature. $d Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2019 $z 1108572952 $w (OCoLC)1103218362 830 0 $a Yale classical studies; $v v. 39. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305042142.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020936.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3E7561ECFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
