Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | In this penetrating and compelling reinterpretation of the Iliad and the Odyssey, Kevin Crotty explores the connection between the "poetic" nature of supplication on the one hand, and, on the other, the importance of supplication in the structure and poetics of the two epics.

A poetics of supplication, Crotty asserts, leads irresistibly to a poetics of the Homeric epic. |
