Demetrios of Scepsis and His Troikos Diakosmos

Trachsel’s work represents the first treatment dedicated to Demetrios of Scepsis in over a century. She offers a thorough analysis of the ancient and modern reactions to Demetrios’s research into the Iliad and the Trojan landscape and provides new evidence about the impressively wide range of other topics Demetrios’s work may have contained.

Bursele antice aveau multe chipuri, dar cele mai multe au disparut de-a lungul timpului. Demetrios din Scepsis este una dintre cele mai umbre dintre aceste figuri pierdute, cunoscut mai ales pentru comentariile sale la Catalogul troian din Cartea 2 a Iliadei.
