The Baltic Origins Of Homer's Epic Tales ─ The Iliad, The Odyssey, And The Migration Of Myth

An Italian nuclear engineer with an extensive background in Latin and Greek, Vinci solves geographical disparities that have puzzled scholars for millennia by arguing that the earliest epic poems in Western literature are not set in Greece at all, but in ancient Scandinavia. He discusses the world of Ulysses, the world of Troy, the world of the Achaeans, and the migration of myth from the Hyperborean paradise. He himself, along with Amalia Di Francesco translated Omero nel Baltico, which was published in 1995 by Fratelli Palombi Editions, Rome. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
