The purpose of this collective book, which includes ten comprehensive contributions by internationally recognized scholars, in two volumes, is to study the Epic Cycle in its dynamic and diachronic development, to judge it against the backdrop of the oral tradition and the rhapsodic practice, to put it in relation (a responsive and reciprocal relation, that is) to other contemporary and later cultural and literary productions.
