Structures of Epic Poetry
This compendium (4 vols.) studies the continuity, flexibility, and variation of structural elements in epic narratives.

This bauform is not only a stock element of ancient epic, but it also plays an important role in other genres such as historiography and tragedy. In particular, the urbs capta motif and comparable scenes of nocturnal destruction that hav…
