Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2016. 1st paperback ed. XVIII,327p. Paperback. ?This volume has been long in the making, since it has its origin in a conference held in Nottingham in 2003, at which the reviewer was present. The result was worth the wait, as we now have a thoughtful introduction by the two editors and ten contributions over a broad range of subjects and perspectives, which nevertheless cover enough common ground to provide reasonable cohesion for the reader. The main aim is to present ?a visual perspective on Greek and Latin epic?; the topics range from Homer to modern opera and film. (?) Lovatt?s part of the introduction summaries both the different occasions at which we may spot the visual in epic narrative, and the specifies of the epic genre. (?) Her survey (?) makes very instructive reading. Vout, too, starts from Homer, and considers the question whether the visual arts in the course of the tradition developed a specific practice to ?capture the grandeur of epic vision? The aim of the volume then, is to throw some light on the hypertextual character of any reaction to the Homeric poems, be they textual or visual, thereby ?probing and reassessing the workings of the genre? (CHRISTIANE REITZ in Mnemosyne, p.704).
