Download or read book The Stories of Similes in Greek and Roman Epic written by Deborah Beck and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the story of an epic poem is woven from characters and plot, so too the individual similes within an epic create a unique simile world. Like any other story, it is peopled by individual characters, happenings, and experiences, such as the shepherd and his flocks, a storm at sea, or predators hunting prey. The simile world that complements the epic mythological story is re-imagined afresh in relation to the themes of each epic poem. As Deborah Beck argues in this stimulating book, over time a simile world takes shape across many poems composed over many centuries. This evolving landscape resembles the epic story world of battles, voyages, and heroes that comes into being through relationships among different epic poems. Epic narrative is woven from a warp of the mythological story world and a weft of the simile world. They are partners in creating the fabric of epic poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Similes of Homer's Iliad: Translated, With Introduction and Notes Homer may, I think, be called the Father of simile; for, whatever date we assign to the Homeric poems, their author will remain the earliest Greek poet who has elaborated the simile; and from him, in matter or manner, those that came after have directly or indirectly borrowed. Hence his similes are of peculiar interest; and they seemed to be worth grouping together and illustrating from other and later poets, especially from our own.
