- W91824981 abstract "Ahe iliad and the ODYSSEY have been required reading in Western culture from its first beginnings, despite the complete mystery surrounding the circumstances of their date and authorship, and despite their obvious flaws and blemishes?the inconsistencies, repetitions, irrelevancies, and so on?which have led to their impeachment as products of a single mind. All the uncertainties about Homer and his po ems notwithstanding, their place in the cultural imagination in the West has been unrivalled. Indeed, as secular texts with no pretensions to revealed truth, and yet conferred with nearly Biblical stature, their status in world literature is al most unique.1 How can we account for their standing and their enduring attraction? Whatever the answer, approaching the question will involve confronting the monumentality of the two poems?less their quality as great works of literature than their role as cultural icons, as signifiers of value, and as landmarks in the evolving relationship between literature and culture. To look at Homer in this way is to consider his place?the very idea of Homer?in the culture wars of antiq uity and modernity.
