Dr. Jonathan L. Ready’s new book was published through Oxford University Press in the U.S.
According to the Oxford University Press, this work "examines oral traditional works from around the world, introducing a wealth of often neglected comparanda for the Homeric epics and revivifying a comparative approach to Homeric poetry," "builds on research from outside classical studies to approach a central feature of Homeric poetry from a truly interdisciplinary perspective," and "includes English translations of all foreign and ancient languages, ensuring accessibility to readers regardless of language familiarity."
