Reading Homer is written by Kostas Myrsiades and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0838642195 (ISBN 10) and 9780838642191 (ISBN 13).
These nine new essays on Homer's epics deal not only with major Homeric themes of time (honor), kleos (fame), geras (rewards), the psychology of Homeric warriors, and the re-evaluation of type scenes, but also with Homer's influence on contemporary film. Following the introduction and an essay which sets the historical background for the epics, four essays are devoted to fresh analysis of key passages and themes while another four turn to a discussion of the film Troy and Homer's influence on two other genres of American cinema.
