The Rape of Troy: Evolution, Violence, And The World Of Homer

 
The Rape of Troy: Evolution, Violence, And The World Of Homer

Description

Homer's epics reflect an eighth-century BCE world of warrior tribes and chiefdoms, fractured by constant strife. Professor Gottschall adopts the innovative approach of analysing Homeric conflict from the perspective of modern evolutionary biology, attributing its intensity to a catalyst familiar across many cultures: a shortage of available young women.
