Description

In this collection of his essays on Homer, some new and some appearing for the first time in English, the distinguished scholar Pietro Pucci examines the linguistic and rhetorical features of the poet's works. Arguing that there can be no purely historical interpretation, given that the parameters of interpretation are themselves historically determined, Pucci focuses instead on two features of Homer's rhetoric: repetition of expression (formulae) and its effects on meaning, and the issue of intertextuality.

Author Biography:

Pietro Pucci is Professor of Classics at Cornell University. Among his works are Odysseus Polutropos: Intertextual Readings in the Odysseyand in the Iliad (1987) and Hesiod and the Language of Poetry (1977).
