Wace, F.B.A., Litt.D., perhaps did more than any other man since Schliemann to enlarge our knowledge of Mycenaean Greece, the heroic Greece of the Homeric epics. His work in classical archaeology covered many varied fields, and his knowledge of Greece ranged over mediaeval and modern times as well as the classical period. He was sometime Director of the British School at Athens and it is by his work as excavator of Mycenae, which he began in the 1920s, that he will always be best known. This Companion to Homer was first planned by Professor Wace shortly before the Second World War, while he was Laurence Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge. His own chapters in the book had been completed before his death, and the detailed plan of the whole had his approval. - Frank H. Stubbings, M.A., Ph.D., F.S.A., was educated at the Perse School and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he took a double first in Classics and was second Chancellors Classical Medallist. Studentships for travel and archaeological research in Greece followed. He is now a Lecturer in Classics in the University of Cambridge and Fellow and Librarian of Emmanuel College. He has been associated with the Companion to Homer from the beginning, first as a contributor, later as assistant editor, and since Professor Waces death has had the task of arranging the illustration of the work and seeing the whole through the press. He is the author of Mycenaean Pottery from the Levant (1951). Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Original cloth with dust jacket.…
