Even if those features of Homeric science were just poetic concepts (which on many occasions does not explain the astonishing details of design and manufacture, like the ones included in the present volume), they seem to prove that these achievements were well within human capability. In addition, the substantial development of machine theory during the early post-Homeric age shows that the Homeric descriptions were a kind of prophetic conception of these machines, and scientific research must be a quest for the fundamental principles of knowledge available during the Late Bronze Age and the dawn of the Iron Age. ..Such investigations must of necessity be strongly interdisciplinary and also proceed continuously in time, since, as science progresses, new elements of knowledge are discovered in the Homeric Epics, amenable to scientific analysis...This book brings together papers presented at the international symposium Science and Technology in Hom | 出版日期 | Book 2008 | 关键词 | Homer; Homeric epics; Ilias; Troja; machines; mechanisms; technology transfer | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-8784-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-017-8531-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-8784-4Series ISSN 1875-3442 Series E-ISSN 1875-3426 | issn_series | 1875-3442 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008 |
