Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Reality and Allegory in the Odyssey by L. G. Pocock, published in 1959 by Adolf M. Hakkert, Amsterdam. First Edition. A provocative study of the geography and composition of Homer's Odyssey in which Pocock argues that the seemingly fantastic landscapes encountered by Odysseus preserve recognizable Mediterranean geography, particularly that of Sicily and the surrounding islands.

Illustrated with maps and photographic plates comparing Homeric descriptions with actual Mediterranean landscapes. Original blue cloth hardcover with gilt lettering, showing light shelfwear and rubbing to boards.…
