Immersion, Identification, and the Iliad explains why people care about this foundational epic poem and its characters. It represents the first book-length application to the Iliad of research in communications, literary studies, media studies, and psychology on how readers of a story or viewers of a play, movie, or television show find themselves immersed in the tale and identify with the characters. Immersed recipients get wrapped up in a narrative and the world it depicts and lose track to some degree of their real-world surroundings. Identification occurs when recipients interpret the storyworld from a character's perspective, feel emotions congruent with those of the character, and root for the character to succeed. This volume situates modern research on these experiences in relation to ancient criticism on how audiences react to narratives. It then offers close readings of select episodes and detailed analyses of recurring features to show how the Iliad immerses both ancient and modern recipients and encourages them to identify with its characters. Accessible to students and researchers, to those inside and outside of classical studies, this interdisciplinary project aligns research on the Iliad with contemporary approaches to storyworlds in a range of media. It thereby opens new frontiers in the study of ancient Greek literature and helps investigators of audience engagement from antiquity to the present contextualize and historicize their own work.
Book Synopsis Memory and Emotions in Antiquity by : George Kazantzidis
Download or read book Memory and Emotions in Antiquity written by George Kazantzidis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions of this volume discuss the interfaces between memory and emotions in ancient literature, social life, and philosophy. They explore the ways in which memories intersect with emotions in the epics of Homer and Virgil, the importance of memory for the emotions scripts employed by public speakers to enhance the persuasiveness of their arguments, and ‘cultural memory’ in Philostratus’ Heroicus. Contributions that focus on aspects of ancient societies and politics investigate memory and emotions in the Bacchic-Orphic gold leaves, the importance of memories on inscriptions commemorating private and public emotions, and the ways in which emotive memories enhanced the monumentalizing project of Herodes Atticus in Greece. The essays emphasizing philosophical approaches to memory and emotions discuss Aristotle’s biological treatises and Augustine’s deployment of nostalgia and autobiographical narrative in the wider frame of his didactic programme. Modern approaches to embodied cognition are also employed to shed light on how memories attached to our bodily experiences can enhance the interpretation of Roman literature.

Book Synopsis Duality and Structure in the Iliad and Odyssey by : Chet A. Van Duzer
Download or read book Duality and Structure in the Iliad and Odyssey written by Chet A. Van Duzer and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1996 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite extensive studies on Homer's techniques of formulaic composition, thus far the importance of duality in the construction of the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" has gone unnoticed. This study demonstrates that duality pervades the epics, from dual magical devices that protect Homeric heroes, to the dual structures upon which the poems are built. By elucidating patterns in Homer's use of duality, the study develops new insights into the methods of Homeric composition, and powerful new tools for the interpretation of his work.
Download or read book The Iliad written by Homer and published by London : W. Heinemann. This book was released on 1924 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iliad is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, for which Barry Powell, one of the twenty-first century's leading Homeric scholars, has given us a magnificent new translation. Graceful, lucid, and energetic, Powell's translation renders the Homeric Greek with a simplicity and dignity reminiscent of the original. The text immediately engrosses students with its tight and balanced rhythms, while the incantatory repetitions evoke a continuous "stream of sound" that offers as good an impression of Homer's Greek as one could hope to attain without learning the language. Accessible, poetic, and accurate, Powell's translation is an excellent fit for today's students. With swift, transparent language that rings both ancient and modern, it exposes them to all of the rage, pleasure, pathos, and humor that are Homer's Iliad. Both the translation and the introduction are informed by the best recent scholarship. FEATURES * Uses well-modulated verse and accurate English that is contemporary but never without dignity * Powell's introduction sets the poem in its philological, mythological, and historical contexts * Features unique on-page notes, facilitating students' engagement with the poem * Embedded illustrations accompanied by extensive captions provide Greek and Roman visual sources for key passages in each of the poem's twenty-four books * Eight maps (the most of any available translation) provide geographic context for the poem's many place names * Audio recordings (read by Powell) of fifteen important passages are available at www.oup.com/us/powell and indicated in the text margin by an icon
Download or read book Homer's Epics written by Homer and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two timeless epics by the ancient Greek poet—each translated by a world-renowned author—have captured the Western imagination for millennia. The Iliad: Alexander Pope “works miracles” in this beautiful verse translation of Homer’s epic poem set near the end of the Trojan War. It centers on a quarrel between the invading Greek king Agamemnon and his greatest asset in battle, the warrior Achilles. From this conflict, Homer weaves a tale of warring nations, vengeful gods, and the terrible consequences of prideful rage (The New York Times). The Odyssey: The Trojan War is over and Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, embarks to return home. But he is cursed by the god Poseidon to wander the perilous earth for ten years before reaching his destination. Homer’s epic adventure of survival by wit and battling mythical creatures is presented here in a stirring prose translation by Samuel Butler.
Download or read book The Iliad written by Homer and published by Paul Dry Books. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homer's epic about the horrors and heroism of the final year of the Trojan War is one of Western literature's most enduring and moving tales. Joe Sachs, whose translations are known for being faithful to the original Greek, brings new layers of depth, understanding, and interest to the poem. Why translate the Iliad? Joe Sachs explains his motivation: My own reading of the poem has been influenced less by the books and essays that discuss it than by its translators. I have read quite a few, and the variety among them is striking…Once, long ago, I expected that eventually I would find one translation the most satisfying. What I found instead was that it was the very multiplicity of them that was getting me closer to Homer. Felicitous phrases from them all have remained with me, and the way their words move and sound has helped me come to hear, in my inward ear, Homer’s voice. Renowned philosophy professor Joe Sachs taught for thirty years in the Great Books program at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. He has translated Homer’s Odyssey (Paul Dry Books, 2014); Aristotle’s Physics, Metaphysics, On the Soul and On Memory and Recollection, Nicomachean Ethics, and Poetics; and Plato’s Theaetetus, Republic, and Socrates and The Sophists.

Download or read book The Iliad written by Simone Weil and published by Pendle Hill Publications. This book was released on 1956 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to a lack of biographical evidence regarding the identity of Homer it has been suggested that the two great works attributed to him, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey" may, in fact, be the work of multiple authors passed down through a long oral tradition. While scholarship on the subject will likely never definitely prove one way or the other, it is now generally accepted that these two great epic poems are the work of a single Greek author, Homer, who lived sometime during the 9th century BC. Set during a few weeks in the final year of the Trojan War, "The Iliad" is a classical epic poem concerning a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. While encompassing just a brief period of the Trojan War the poem relates events leading up to and following the few weeks that encompass the setting of the poem giving the reader a comprehensive perspective of the Trojan War. Part romanticized historical narrative, part mythological epic, the "Iliad" is widely recognized as one of the most important works from classical antiquity. Along with the "Odyssey", it would establish Homer as one the most influential authors to ever have lived. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, follows the prose translation of Samuel Butler, and includes an introduction by H. L. Havell.

Book Synopsis The Iliad and the Odyssey by : Homer
Download or read book The Iliad and the Odyssey written by Homer and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iliad; sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The Odyssey is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature; the Iliad is the oldest. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. This is the Samuel Butler Translation. Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages.

Chryses, a priest of Apollo, attempts to ransom his daughter, Chryseis- who was taken captive, from Agamemnon. Although most of the Greek army is in favor of the offer, Agamemnon refuses. Chryses prays to the god Apollo to send a plague against the Achaeans (Ancient Greeks) and 9 days of plague fell upon the Achaeans. Agamemnon eventually agrees to return Chryseis but decides to take Achilles' captive, Briseis, as compensation. Even though Achilles gives her up, he becomes so furious that he declares that he, together with his men, will no longer fight anymore. Achilles, very upset, and prays to his goddess mother, to ask Zeus to bring the Greeks to the breaking point by the Trojans, so Agamemnon will realize how much the Greeks need him. Sure enough, the next day the Trojans make a successful counterattack, led by Hektor, their greatest warrior. The Trojans drive the Achaeans back to their beached ships. Agamemnon offers rich prizes, but Achilles refuses the offer and remains withdrawn from battle. How will this encounter turn out for the people of Troy and the Greeks?

Book Synopsis Homer Beside Himself by : Maureen Alden
Download or read book Homer Beside Himself written by Maureen Alden and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 2000 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students reading the Iliad for the first time are often bewildered by the sheer volume of information on apparently unrelated subjects contained in it. The central narrative seems to unfold very slowly, and to be complicated by long speeches containing stories which might be interesting in themselves, but which seem to have no relevance to anything else. In this book Dr Alden offers advice on how to read the Iliad through the relationship of major paradigms to the events of the main narrative. The first section offers the first full-length study in English of the paradigmatic functions of secondary narratives and minor-key episodes in the Iliad. None of these are irrelevant or merely ornamental: rather each is carefully selected and altered if necessary, to reflect on significant episodes of the main narrative and act as guides to its interpretation. The second section offers a general reading of the Iliad arising out of Phoenix's advice to Achilles in Book 9. The allegoryof the Prayers illustrates the dire consequences of rejecting prayers, and the paradigm of Meleager presents us with an instance of an angry hero to whom prayers and entreaties are addressed, whilst the primary narrative confines this motif of prayers and entreaties in ascending scale of affection to Achilles and Hector and contrasts their responses. Both heroes suffer terribly for their rejection of entreaties.
