HOMERIC SOUNDINGS The Shaping of the Iliad
Oxford Clarendon Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0198140274 . Book and DJ have very minor shelfwear. Light foxing to top of textblock. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; 328 pages; The Iliad came into existence to be heard from start to finish. While this is generally accepted in theory the poem has not been properly studied in light of what this means in practice. Many connections which are not obvious when the poem is read become prominent if it is approached as an oral and aural creation particularly if the poem is divided into three segments probably a product of three night-long sessions of performance. This book contends that the shapings that these soundings or sample explorations bring into focus extend from details of wording and theme to the entire moral religious and political significance of the Iliad. .

EROS IN MOURNING From Homer to Lacan
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0801849233 . Minor shelfwear. Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Eros in Mourning begins with a reading of the Iliad that shows how Homer not yet influenced by the ideology of transcendence analyzes the structure of unassuageable mourning in a way that is as up-to-date as the latest poststructuralism. Then in readings of Dante Hamlet La Princess de Cl�ves Heart of Darkness and Lacan Staten depicts the "thanato-erotic" hysteria that is set off by the specter of the dead and decomposing body that is also the body of sexual love and which in the "transcendentalizing" tradition is more female than male. Yet St. John certain troubadours and Milton offer glimpses of a more affirmative relation to "eros in mourning. " ; 9.5 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 248 pages . The Johns Hopkins University Press hardcover

HOMER AND THE ARTISTS Text and Picture in Early Greek Art
Cambridge University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0521620228 . Very minor shelfwear. ; This is a study of the works of art from early Greece that have long been presented as "illustrations to Homer " but that are argued here to be nothing of the kind. Early Greek artists showed no preference for Homeric subjects and when their interests did coincide with Homer's treated his account as at best one of the possible variants. Close descriptive analysis of texts and pictures and of the artists' aims together with statistical evidence provide the basis for the argument. ; 0.43 x 8.29 x 5.91 Inches; 200 pages .

THE DAILY LIFE OF THE GREEK GODS
Stanford University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0804736138 . Dustjacket is protected in mylar. ; Despite the rousing stories of male heroism in battles the Trojan War transcended the activities of its human participants. For Homer it was the gods who conducted and accounted for what happened. In the first part of this book the authors find in Homer s Iliad material for exploring the everyday life of the Greek gods: what their bodies were made of and how they were nourished the organization of their society and the sort of life they led both in Olympus and in the human world. The gods are divided in their human nature: at once a fantasized model of infinite joys and an edifying example of engagement in the world they have loves festivities and quarrels. In the second part the authors show how citizens carried on everyday relations with the gods and those who would become the Olympians inviting them to reside with humans organized in cities. At the heart of rituals and of social life the gods were omnipresent: in sacrifices at meals in political assemblies in war in sexuality. In brief the authors show how the gods were indispensable to the everyday social organization of Greek cities. ; Mestizo Spaces; 0.71 x 8.5 x 5.56 Inches; 287 pages .

HOMERIC RHYTHM A Philosophical Study
Greenwood Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0313303630 . In a follow-up to his previous Homeric studies noted classicist Paolo Vivante explores Homer's verse highlighting rhythm rather than metre. Rhythmical qualities he argues constitute the force of the verse For example in the way the words take position and in the way each pause hints suspense producing an immediate sense of time. Vivante's main concern is not with the techniques or rules of the verse-composition but more philosophically with verse itself as a fundamental form of human expression. This study will be of interest to both students and scholars. ; Contributions to the Study of World Literature 82; 176 pages . Greenwood Press hardcover
