In Performing Homer: The Voyage of Ulysses from Epic to Opera scholars in Classics, Drama, Italian Literature, Art History, and Musicology explore the journey of Homer's Odyssey from ancient to modern times. The book traces the reception of The Odyssey though the Italian humanist sources to the treatment of the tale not only by Monteverdi but also such composers as Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Gluck, and Alessandro Scarlatti, and the dramatic and poetic traditions thereafter.
