Focusing on the cohesiveness of the Homeric Epics, the book argues that these works reflect a unified depiction of a single age's life and civilization, rather than being a compilation from various periods. It posits that the minor variations found within the texts are typical of cultural evolution, suggesting that the poems were created in a time when poets did not strive to replicate past details or customs. The author contends that this harmony indicates a singular epoch, challenging the notion of a fragmented literary history.
