The Aspects of a Young Adult Novel in Homer's The Iliad (New Interpretive Viewpoint)
There are few literary works in the history with such an impact, as Homer’s The Iliad. Later Greek literature, and Roman that followed, display conspicuous traces of that influence. Despite the fact that the Homer's epics were comprehensible to each Greek without any philological education, nearly thirty centuries later, and in different surroundings, young readers are challenged when it comes to the interpretation of their size, content, and meaning. Hence the need for a new interpretive viewpoint where the young reader has the ability to identify with the hero who is not only a fearless warrior, but who also a social corrective upon completing process of “maturing”. The Iliad offers the possibility of reading genre features of a young adult novel on several levels: the first level relates to the organization of the narrative structure in two opposing groups with the standardized character of a leader, the second deals with his characterization as a rebellious hero who opposes authority and is willing to accept the consequences which allow correction of the behavior, the third covers a consideration of narrative techniques which indicate character’s psychological state, while the fourth includes the didactic purpose of the text, i.e. reception.
