Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pattern of the Iliad He wrought on it the Earth and the Sky and the Sea, the never-weary Sun and the full Moon, and all the signs with which the sky is crowned; the Pleiads and Hyads and the Strength of Orion and the she-bear, which they also call the Wain turning round in her own place, but always watching Orion, she alone of all the constellations may not dip into the baths of Ocean. He made on it two Cities of mortal men, very lovely. In one of them were marriages and feasting, and to the gleam of torches in the upper city brides were being fetched out of their chambers. The marriage song rose loud. Boys, dancers, were spinning, and among them utes and harps were sounding, while the women came and stood admiring, each at her house door.

Book The Iliad

    Book Details:
  • Author : Bruce Louden
  • Publisher : JHU Press
  • Release : 2006-05-05
  • ISBN : 0801889189
  • Pages : 364 pages

Download or read book The Iliad written by Bruce Louden and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-05-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extending his distinctive analysis of Homeric epic to the Iliad, Bruce Louden, author of The "Odyssey": Structure, Narration, and Meaning, again presents new approaches to understanding the themes and story of the poem. In this thought-provoking study, he demonstrates how repeated narrative motifs argue for an expanded understanding of the structure of epic poetry. First identifying the "subgenres" of myth within the poem, he then reads these against related mythologies of the Near East, developing a context in which the poem can be more accurately interpreted. Louden begins by focusing on the ways in which the Iliad's three movements correspond with and comment on each other. He offers original interpretations of many episodes, notably in books 3 and 7, and makes new arguments about some well-known controversies (e.g., the duals in book 9), the Iliad's use of parody, the function of theomachy, and the prefiguring of Hektor as a sacrificial victim in books 3 and 6. The second part of the book compares fourteen subgenres of myth in the Iliad to contemporaneous Near Eastern traditions such as those of the Old Testament and of Ugaritic mythology. Louden concludes with an extended comparison of the Homeric Athena and Anat, a West Semitic goddess worshipped by the Phoenicians and Egyptians. Louden's innovative method yields striking new insights into the formation and early literary contexts of Greek epic poetry.

Book The Shield of Homer

  • Author : Keith Stanley
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2014-07-14
  • ISBN : 1400863376
  • Pages : 483 pages

Download or read book The Shield of Homer written by Keith Stanley and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterly interpretation of narrative sequence in the Iliad, Keith Stanley not only sharpens the current debate over the date and creation of the poem, but also challenges the view of this work as primarily a celebration of heroic force. He begins by studying the intricate ring-composition in the verses describing Achilles' shield, then extends this analysis to reveal the Iliad as an elaborate and self-conscious formal whole. In so doing he defends the hypothesis that the poem as we know it is a massive reorganization and expansion of earlier "Homeric" material, written in response to the need for a stable text for repeated performance at the sixth-century Athenian festival for the city's patron goddess. Stanley explores the arrangement of the poem's books, all unified by theme and structure, showing how this allowed for artistically satisfying and practically feasible recitation over a period of three or four days. Taking structural emphasis as a guide to poetic discourse, the author argues that the Iliad is not a poem of "might"--as opposed to the Odyssean celebration of "guile"--but that in advocating social and personal reconciliation the poem offers a profound indictment of a warring heroic society.
