The Wounded Hero: Sapheneia, cartea 11

Autor Tamara Neal
en Limba Engleză Hardback
This book is an investigation of non-fatal injury and bloodspill in Homer's "Iliad" and demonstrates the crucial significance of these motifs in the epic. They are shown to be fundamental to defining heroic status and a powerful means for developing the narrative and thematic structures of the poem. The study offers a nuanced definition of the nature of mortality and immortality and shows how the motifs of injury and bloodspill explicate the plot of the poem and its ethical values. This work is the first to examine these motifs in a systematic and comprehensive investigation. Focusing exclusively on the "Iliad," the book sheds new light on ideals of heroic conduct.
