The Homeric Odyssey: The Mary Flexner Lectures delivered at Bryn Mawr College Pennsylvania by Denys Page, F.B.A., Regius Professor of Greek and Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge "It was my intention to provide a general introduction to the problems which present themselves in the study of the composition of the Odyssey: to write (in short) the kind of book which I myself as an undergraduate should have found interesting and useful. ... There are certain arguments, touching especially the Journey of Telemachus, the Visit to the Underworld, the last 634 lines of the poem, and a few other passages, which appeared on investigation to constitute a strong prima facie case against unity of authorship for the Odyssey. ..." - Preface The hardback shows some shelf wear at the corners. It is inscribed in pen on the front free endpaper, and some pages contain light annotations in pencil. Aside from this, the pages and binding are sound.
