| Description: |
Although the most common feature in the Homeric poems is repetition, few agree on how to interpret it. In this work, Steven Lowenstam examines the importance of form and meaning and suggests that the formulas of the Homeric tradition were modified to allow the greatest harmony of style and nuance. |
| Synopsis: |
this adept treatment of Homeric diction successfully bridges the gap between the technical aspects of oral poetics and literary analysis.-RELIGIOUS STUDIES REVIEW |
