The Agency of the Idyllic Landscape
The Idylls of Theocritus stand between imitation and imagination, between the real world and story. Theocritus’s presentation of both urban and rural environments trains our readings on people, landscape, and materiality—and the porosity between them. This article offers a reading of Theocritus’s Idyll 21 and the strong connection it presents between fishermen and their environs, through the lens of material ecocriticism. It shows that the world …

Homer
Homer: The Very Idea by James I. Porter Lilah Grace Canevaro Homer: The Very Idea. By James I. Porter. Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press. 2021. Pp. xiv, 277. Homer is infamously reticent to tell us anything about himself in his poems. Hesiod, with whom Homer is frequently paired in his reception, tells us about his father and his brother and his farm and his experience with ships and song contests and ploughs—but of Homer we lea…
Beyond the Veil
Chapter 4 returns to the theme of Homeric poems are shown to reflect on the limitations of objects; how the memories encased in objects are presented as transient; how this transience has a gendered aspect; and how objects as commemorators are consistently presented by the poet as inferior to the medium of poetry. This chapter then offers a way in which objects might be able to mitigate their limitations: through entanglement with immortality, wi…
Hellenistic Hesiod
This chapter uses Callimachus’s Aetia, Aratus’s Phaenomena, and Nicander’s Theriaca to explore the intense engagement with Hesiodic poetry in the Hellenistic period. Informed by statistics for explicit references to Hesiod at this time, it asks: Why is this the only period of antiquity in which the Theogony and the Works and Days are considered equally important? Questions of genre and didaxis, of inspiration and knowledge, are set against a back…
Object-Oriented Odysseus
Odysseus is shown to be a liminal figure, far from home, yet unable to put down roots elsewhere, torn between women, their agent objects, and the potential lives they represent. As a unique male character in the Homeric poems, Odysseus expresses himself through objects in a unique way that is coloured by the female sphere and so points to the very cause of his liminality. This chapter focuses closely on one particular object, the chest given to O…
Uncontainable Things
Chapter 5 deploys a range of case studies to push the analysis beyond the bounds of the Homeric poems, into the Hesiodic corpus (broadly defined). One recurring object type—the jar—is used to compare the central themes, concerns, and perspectives of each of the poems in which it appears, in order to offer an example of the extent to which ‘attentiveness to things’ can nuance our reading, not only of one poem, but of a range of poetry together. Th…
Women of Substance in Homeric Epic
Women in Greek epic are treated as objects, as commodities to be exchanged in marriage or as the spoils of warfare. However, women also use objects to negotiate their own agency, subverting the male viewpoint by using the very form they themselves are thought by men to embody. Female objects in Homer can be symbolically significant and powerfully characterizing. They can be tools of recognition and identification. They can pause narrative and be …
Women of Substance in Homeric Epic
Women in Greek epic are treated as objects, yet they also use objects to negotiate their own agency. This volume shines new light on the 'Iliad' and 'Odyssey', combining Gender Theory and New Materialisms to decentre the male subject and put centre stage not only the woman as object but also the agency of women and objects

Conflict and Consensus in Early Greek Hexameter Poetry
Achilles inflicts countless agonies on the Achaeans, although he is supposed to be fighting on their side. Odysseus' return causes civil strife on Ithaca. The Iliad and the Odyssey depict conflict where consensus should reign, as do the other major poems of the early Greek hexameter tradition: Hesiod's Theogony and the Homeric Hymns describe divine clashes that unbalance the cosmos; Hesiod's Works and Days stems from a quarrel between brothers. T…
Filling the Gaps
Chapter 5 contextualizes the discussion, asking: is the Works and Days unique? This chapter argues that the Works and Days has two main selling points: the remarkable balance between modes of reading, and the link between the demands Hesiod places on his audience and his particular Iron Age preoccupations. Moreover, this chapter puts together these two issues, showing how the two modes of reading, through the gaps they leave, challenge the Iron A…
Two Ideals
Chapter 3 focuses on Hesiod's didactic purpose. It argues that the poem's structure and implied modes of reading reflect the interplay between self-sufficiency, consistently foregrounded in the Works and Days as the Iron Age ideal, and the very tradition of didactic literature. This chapter treats Hesiod's choice of didactic addressee as a targeted break from traditional models, his didactic persona as an embodiment of the independent ideal, and …
Two Structuring Strategies
Chapter 2 investigates the role the poem itself plays in establishing its reception. This chapter considers how the potential for reuse interplays with a linear reading of the poem. In both strategies of reading the chapter is concerned with the level of conscious crafting and consistent moral direction displayed, and how deliberate shaping interplays with the traditional nature of many of the elements. Hesiod carefully balances detachability and…
Hesiod's Works and Days
Hesiod's 'Works and Days' was often performed in its entirety, but was also relentlessly excerpted, quoted, and reapplied. This volume situates the poem within these two modes of reading and argues that the text itself, through Hesiod's complex mechanism of rendering elements detachable whilst tethering them to their context for the purposes of the poem, sustains both treatments
The Homeric Ladies of Shalott
This article argues that the traditional referentiality of Tennyson’s ‘The Lady of Shalott’ can be better understood by supplementing the poet’s medieval sources, of little more than tangential relevance to the poem, with Homeric influences. It suggests that the Lady is an amalgamation of Homeric women, primarily Andromache and Helen but also Penelope, Circe, and Calypso, who fulfil their domestic roles by weaving but who also cross gender bounda…
