Notes:	Catalog of an exhibition at musée du Louvre-Lens from March 27-July 22, 2019. "The Louvre-Lens is holding one of the most ambitious exhibitions ever dedicated to Homer: a key figure of ancient Greek culture who laid the foundations for Western culture. His works and their heroes--Achilles, Hector, and Ulysses, to name but a few--remain prominent to this day. From antiquity to the Renaissance, artists have looked to Homer's texts for inspiration for many of the key subjects that have shaped art history. But what ensured such everlasting success? The exhibition will investigate all things Homer, from the poet himself to the heroes of the Iliad and the Odyssey. The mystery will be unraveled: Did he ever exist? Did he write the epic poems alone? Where and when did he live? The continued success of his poems as sources of inspiration without doubt lies in the fact that Homer became a phenomenon. The exhibition will explore the implications of this "homeromania" and analyze the various ways in which it influenced language, literature, science, art, moral beliefs, and ways of life. In a display of some 300 artworks (from archaeological finds to modern creations), it will bring the stories and heroes of the Iliad and the Odyssey to life, analyzing the visual representations of these fundamental epic poems that have time and time again been reimagined, interpreted, and modernized, and still fascinate us to this day." -- Musée du Louvre-Lens website Includes bibliographical references (pages 380-390).
Summary:	Cet ouvrage est publié à l?occasion de l?exposition Homère, présentée au musée du Louvre-Lens, du 27 mars au 22 juillet 2019.00Homère, avec les deux monuments littéraires que sont l?Iliade et l?Odyssée qui lui sont généralement attribués, est sans conteste une des sources majeures les plus anciennes de la culture occidentale. Au-delà de leur importance dans la littérature, ces deux œuvres ont irrigué depuis lors l?imaginaire des différentes civilisations héritières de la Grèce. Ainsi, confusément, la Guerre de Troie, les noms d?Achille, d?Hector ou d?Ulysse continuent encore à raisonner dans nos esprits aujourd?hui. À plus fort titre, les artistes dans l?Antiquité, comme depuis la Renaissance, y ont puisé une multitude de sujets fondamentaux dans l?histoire de l?art.
