Similes in a Shifting Scene: Iliad, Book 11
Belonging to History: Margaret Walker's For My People
Belonging to History:Margaret Walker’s For My People William Scott My own interpretation [of Walker's novel, Jubilee,] is that it is not only historical, but also, and primarily, Historical. . . . "Historical," in this sense, is a metaphor for the unfolding of the Divine Will. . . . In this view of things, human doings are only illusions of a counterfeit autonomy; [in Walker's novel] agents (or characters) are moving and are moved under the aegis…

To Make up the Hedge and Stand in the Gap: Arna Bontemps's Black Thunder
As a young minister in my early twenties, I was just glad to be standing in their number, bonding with ministerial mentors, men standing on the front lines of spiritual warfare, or, as the black church memorably refers to it, "standing in the gap": carrying and crying the judgment of the Almighty, opening opportunity for salvation, proclaiming the soul's rescue and the requirements of redemption, and edifying believers with the inscrutable, wholl…
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…

The oral nature of the Homeric simile
Even the similes, the very breath of life of the poetry of Homer, are in many cases, indeed usually, adopted ready-made. Their vividness, their closeness of observation, their air of freshness and spontaneity, are all deceptive. Nearly all of them are taken over from older books, and many of them were originally written to describe some quite different occasion. 8 G. P. Shipp, having demonstrated that the similes show a significantly high proport…

The Confused Chorus ("Agamemnon" 975-1034)
THE MEMBERS OF THE CHORUS in Aeschylus' Agamemnon were born to sorrow.' Much of their unhappiness arises from continuing confusion about their king. For many reasons anxious thoughts about Agamemnon dominate these men: they feel that he has shown arrogance against the gods; they are aware that he has enemies inside Argos even though these enemies feign friendship; and they realize that at one time they themselves entertained hostile thoughts agai…
