Homer's Cosmic Fabrication: Choice and Design in the Iliad
Although scholars routinely state that the Iliad is an “oral poem,” it has circulated as a text stabilized in writing since near the time of its composition. Thus, the Iliad undoubtedly has features that render it satisfactory to readers and reading. But the question of what these features might be has been difficult for Homeric scholarship to address within the research paradigm of “oral poetics.” This book delineates a new approach aimed at eva…

Homer beside Himself: Para-Narratives in the Iliad
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 majo…

The Simile of the Fugitive Homicide, Iliad 24.480–84: Analogy, Foiling, and Allusion
The Simile of the Fugitive Homicide, Iliad 24.480–84:Analogy, Foiling, and Allusion Bruce Heiden Homer elaborates "the most dramatic moment in the whole of the Iliad"1 with a unique, disturbing, and pathetic simile. Only in the scene of Priam's unheralded arrival in Achilles' lodging does the predicament of a murderer seeking refuge in a strange land ever provide the material for a Homeric illustration. (Il. 24.477–86) The simile explicitly compa…
The Ordeals of Homeric Song
The Ordeals of Homeric Song Bruce Heiden In a recently published work,1 Richard Seaford has offered one of the most ambitious efforts yet to address the social and ritual contexts of the Homeric epics and to interpret the cultural significance of the epics as they assumed the approximate form in which we know them. The basic point of Seaford's complex argument is that the Iliad and Odyssey should be seen as parallel developments to the public fun…

Tragic Rhetoric: An Interpretation of Sophocles' Trachiniae
This innovative study of Sophocles' Trachiniae deepens our appreciation of the enigmatic nature of Sophoclean tragedy and its place in the Athens of the Sophists. By carefully examining the play's narrative and rhetorical strategies, Bruce Heiden shows that the plot of Trachiniae must be constructed by the creative interpretation of the spectator or reader, and he demonstrates that Sophocles' extensive use of speeches reporting offstage events dr…
Tragedy and Comedy in the Frogs of Aristophanes
Whenever we discuss the Frogs of Aristophanes we find ourselves discussing Athenian tragedy in the Frogs , because Frogs is the play that sends Dionysos down to Hades to recall the tragedian Euripides to Athens, the play that pits Aeschylus and Euripides against one another in a contest that provides one of the earliest specimens of Western literary criticism, and the play in which Aeschylus is finally resurrected to bring the Athenians the teach…
