Phaecian Manners. [From: Mnemosyne, S. 4, Vol. 30/2, 1977]. Vries, G. J. de:

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Binding light-margined, author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: Many interpreters of Homer and commentators on his poems describe Odysseus’ stay in Scheria in idyllic terms: almost at the end of his labours, the hero finds a provisional rest amidst kind people. G. P. Rose was not the first one to defend a different view; he is, however, the most outspoken, and his reaction is extreme. He argues that Odysseus in Scheria finds himself amidst an unkind and unfriendly people whom he mistrusts, and that it costs him a hard struggle to make himself accepted.
