Homer
Although recognized as one of the greatest ancient Greek poets, the life and figure of Homer remains shrouded in mystery. Credited with the authorship of the epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, Homer, if he existed, is believed to have lived during the ninth century BC, and has been identified variously as a Babylonian, an Ithacan, or an Ionian. Regardless of his citizenship, Homer’s poems and speeches played a key role in shaping Greek culture, and Homeric studies remains one of the oldest continuous areas of scholarship, reaching from antiquity through to modern times.

Reviews for A Wild Duck
130 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Swan Lake+Bizzare Love Triangle = Ibsen's The Wild Duck. At first a dull tale turns into a riveting one about deceit, sorrow, greed, despair and misunderstanding. A life goal would be to direct Ibsen's brilliant play in a post-modern adaptation.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. The fatal flaw of hubris makes Hialmar into a tragic anti-hero with Gregers as his well-meaning but evil nemesis.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The tragedy of this play is not that truth is revealed. It is that there is no saving human love. Gregers is like a blast of unfeeling idealism. Not only does he see what is true, but he refuses to accept any truth that doesn't fit his conception of "how" humans should behave. He wants lies exposed not to bring resolution and closeness, but to "punish" bad behavior. The ironic thing about this play is that Hjalmar doesn't really care about the truth until he is forced to - and even then, if Gregers had left things alone, there are clear signs that Hjalmar would have been talked back into his regular life. It is only his daughter that bears the full brunt of the tragedy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Having also read Roshersholm, I see why The Wild Duck is oft cited as one of his best.
