And the wider epic tradition, from which the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e emerged, was yet more multiform. In \u003ci\u003eAchilles Unbound\u003c\/i\u003e, Casey Dué, building on nearly twenty years of work as coeditor of the Homer Multitext (www.homermultitext.org), explores both the traditionality and multiformity of the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e in a way that gives us a greater appreciation of the epic that has been handed down to us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDué argues that the attested multiforms of the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e—in ancient quotations, on papyrus, and in the scholia of medieval manuscripts—give us glimpses of the very long history of the text, access to even earlier \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003es, and a greater awareness of the mechanisms by which such a remarkable poem could be composed in performance. Using methodologies grounded in an understanding of Homeric poetry as a system, \u003ci\u003eAchilles Unbound\u003c\/i\u003e argues for nothing short of a paradigm shift in our approach to the Homeric epics, one that embraces their long evolution and the totality of the world of epic song, in which each performance was newly composed and received by its audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eCasey Dué is Professor and Director of Classical Studies at the University of Houston.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46554444464289,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780674987364","price":34.67,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780674987364.jpg?v=1781768699","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/achilles-unbound-paperback-by-casey-due","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
