Speculum heroicum principis omnium temporum poëtarum Homeri, published in 1613, offers a fascinating glimpse into the reception of Homer's Iliad during the early modern period. This work, attributed to Decimus Magnus Ausonius and Crispijn van de Passe, presents arguments from the twenty-four books of the Iliad in both Latin and French.

The title translates to 'A Heroic Mirror of the Prince of Poets of All Time, Homer, ' indicating its purpose: to extract and illustrate the qualities of an ideal ruler as depicted in Homer's epic. With its parallel text and elegant figures, this edition served as a valuable resource for scholars and those interested in classical literature and its application to contemporary political thought.
