    This chapter explores the representation of weaving in Homer in narratives that focus on female figures and argues that textile activity as represented in the Iliad and the Odyssey becomes a coded reference that engenders activity, time and temporality. In different scenes, the loom is seen as a temporal marker, placed in narratives that discuss ruptures, beginnings and ends. The emphasis on weaving in scenes that involve female figures evokes th…

This set is generally referred to as the homeromanteion , the 'Homer oracle,' and can be dated around the fourth or fifth century century CE. The author also discusses the homeromanteion by first looking at instances where Homeric verses are quoted in a l…

    Andromache KaranikaARTICLEArethusa2011Cited by: 3References: 26

    Odysseus's caution to avoid comparison with prior generations at the beginning of the Phaeacian episode (Od. 8.223-25) is consistent with his self-positioning against Heracles at the end of the Nekyia. As I argue, the encounter between Odysseus and Heracles needs to be read in conjunction with Odysseus's attitude towards older generations of heroes and with the abrupt and fearful exit of Odysseus from the Underworld. This paper discusses the end …
