ΤΑ ΕΠΙΘΕΤΙΚΑ ΚΑΙ ΑΜΥΝΤΙΚΑ ΟΠΛΑ ΤΩΝ ΑΡΧΑΙΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ
Τα όπλα αυτά αξίζει να γνωρίσουν και να εκτιμήσουν οι ειδικοί και το ευρύ κοινό ως γενεσιουργό παράγοντα του πολιτισμού μας και ως προϊόντα τέχνης και τεχνολογίας. Ακόμη περισσότερο αξίζει να τα γνωρίσουμε ως αντικείμενα με τα οποία οι πολεμιστές είχαν ένα ιδιαίτερο ψυχικό σύνδεσμο, καθώς σε αυτά είχαν εμπιστευθεί την επιβίωση και την τιμή τους.

(P/B) HOMER AND THE ARTISTS
This is a book about Homer, myth and art. The Iliad and Odyssey so dominate our view of ancient Greece that our natural reaction on viewing certain works of early Greek art is to identify them as 'scenes from Homer'. However, Anthony Snodgrass argues that, so far from 'illustrating' the Homeric poems, these works very rarely show signs of acquaintance with the Iliad or Odyssey, seldom even choosing their subject-matter from them. When the subjects do overlap, the artists occasionally give positive signs of preferring a non-Homeric version ...
