Opis

How did the Homeric narrator use metaphors of time, speech, and thought to compose and structure the Iliad and Odyssey?

Recenzje

'Zanker intervenes in a long-standing debate on the supposed 'primitiveness' of Homer. His insightful study of metaphor in Homer argues that early epic ideas about time, the mind, and speech are more in line with the modern conception (though without fully coinciding with it) than was previously thought. Refreshing work!' Egbert Bakker, Yale University, Connecticut
