| Description: |
In der 1968 gegrundeten Reihe erscheinen Monographien aus den Gebieten der Griechischen und Lateinischen Philologie sowie der Alten Geschichte. Die Bande weisen eine grosse Vielzahl von Themen auf: neben sprachlichen, textkritischen oder gattungsgeschichtlichen philologischen Untersuchungen stehen sozial-, politik-, finanz- und kulturgeschichtliche Arbeiten aus der Klassischen Antike und der Spatantike. Entscheidend fur die Aufnahme ist die Qualitat einer Arbeit; besonderen Wert legen die Herausgeber auf eine umfassende Heranziehung der einschlagigen Texte und Quellen und deren sorgfaltige kritische Auswertung. |
| Synopsis: |
This study of the gooi or personal laments in Homer's Iliad once and for all articulates the poetic techniques regulating this type of speech. Going beyond the tendency to view lament as a repetitive and group-based activity, this work shows instead the primacy of the goos, a sub-genre which the Iliad has "produced" by absorbing the funerary genre of lament. Oral theory, narratology, semiotics, rhetorical analysis are deftly applied to explore the ways personal laments develop principal epic themes and unravel narrative threads weaving the thematical texture of the entire Iliad (and beyond): the wrath of Achilles, the deaths of Patroclus and Hector, the grief of Achilles and his future death, the foreshadowing of Troy's destruction. Winner of the Annual Award in Classics (2007) of the Academy of Athens. |
