Springer

"The Unknown Technology in Homer" offers an in-depth analysis of the technological and scientific concepts hidden within the Homeric epics, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey." The author, S. A. Paipetis, explores the Mycenaean era, a civilization that flourished from around 1600 to 1200 BC, and highlights how modern scientific terms can be applied to ancient texts. The book is divided into five parts, beginning with an introduction to the Homeric epics and their cultural context. It addresses topics such as the causes of the Trojan War, the roles of Achilles and Odysseus, and the scientific principles that were applied in various aspects of ancient life, such as chariot racing and hydrodynamics. Through extensive research and international symposia, it sheds new light on the connection between ancient literature and modern science.
