Description: 1736 HOMER Greek Poetry Iliad Odyssey MAP Scottish Enlightenment Blackwell “Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.” ― Homer, The Iliad Homer, the legendary Greek poet, was responsible for the mythological epic poems the ‘Iliad’ and the ‘Odyssey. These two poems focus on Greek mythological heroes, their military conquests, and involvement in the Trojan War. Each of these titles have been printed and reprinted countless times. Scottish scholar Thomas Blackwell was one of the leading names of the Enlightenment. His best and most important work was his ‘Enquiry into the Life of Homer’ in which he argues that Homer’s poems were a bridge between antiquity and what would become modern thinking, why Homer was popular, as well as noting the importance of oral traditions in ancient mythology. This 1736 edition of Blackwell’s ‘Enquiry’ features impressive engravings throughout including the highly coveted map of Greece!
