The republic
Homer's world still exists. Its seas, its islands, its rivers, plains and mountains are there for all to see. Many do indeed see them as they visit the ruins of buildings through which the ancient Greeks celebrated their power and commemorated their past. But these ruins are more than landscape. They are also a vivid metaphor for the fact that what is geographically continuous is socially, psychologically, institutionally and spiritually sundered from us for the fact that this is really, in W. H. Auden's words, 'Homer's world, not ours.
