Hello I am new here and want to say hello to all the fellow mythology lovers!
I have some questions and here they are:
What is the difference between the later poems such as Cypria and The sack of troy and Homer's Iliad's cause of Trojan war?
I was told that they are different but in what respect?
Quotation from the book of Michael Wood's "IN SEARCH OF THE TROJAN WAR"
Homer does not deal with the judgement of Paris, theme of so much later art. His tale is simple and quite realistic. Paris goes on a visit to Sparta and is feasted by Menelaos in his richly adorned palace at Amyklai. On the tenth day of the celebrations, Menelaos has to leave for Crete...
Is this homer's version or this is belong to the later poems? Just only homer doesn't narrate the judgement of paris and afterwards are the same?
I am in need of some explanation here and I would be happy if I could find an answer to this questions.
