Book Overview
The Homeric Land System is a historical and anthropological work written by William Ridgeway and published in 1885. The book explores the land system of ancient Greece as depicted in the works of Homer, including the Iliad and the Odyssey. Ridgeway analyzes the social and economic structures of the Homeric society, focusing on the ownership and distribution of land. He argues that the Homeric land system was based on a hierarchy of land ownership, with the king and nobility holding the most valuable land and the common people owning smaller plots. Ridgeway also examines the role of land in Homeric culture, including its influence on warfare, politics, and social status. The Homeric Land System is considered a seminal work in the field of Homeric studies and provides valuable insights into the ancient Greek world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
