Description
IN HIS 1782 ESSAY ON EPIC POETRY, HAYLEY ADDRESSES HOMER THUS: In other words, it was not Greece that made Homer; it was Homer who made Greece. It was by heating Homer that the Greeks were inspired to achieve all that would make them famous in later years; if Homer had not sung, then Pericles would not have spoken, Plato would not have written, Leonidas would not have stood and fought. Alexander, the legend goes, slept with a dagger and an Iliad under his pillow. It hardly matters whether there was any truth in this. What counted was the idea: good epics make good nations.
