Ransom, Revenge, and Heroic Identity in the Iliad by Donna F. Wilson

Wilson examines the nature of compensation–ransom and revenge–in the liad, offering a fundamentally new reading of the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles. She presents a detailed anthropology of compensation in Homer, located in the wider context of agonistic exchange, to demonstrate how the struggle over definitions is a central feature of elite competition for status in the zero-sum and fluid ranking system of Homeric society.

Ransom, Revenge, and Heroic Identity in the Iliad by Donna F. Wilson

Author: دونا اف ویلسن(Donna F. Wilson)

Wilson examines the nature of compensation–ransom and revenge–in the liad, offering a fundamentally new reading of the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles. She presents a detailed anthropology of compensation in Homer, located in the wider context of agonistic exchange, to demonstrate how the struggle over definitions is a central feature of elite competition for status in the zero-sum and fluid ranking system of Homeric society. The study thus asserts the integral role of compensation in the traditional, cultural and poetic matrix of this foundational epic.

Do NOT jump ship before the last chapter, Wilson gets meta and mimetic and it is a VERY good time!!! Unremittingly excellent Tessa rated it: 5.0 from 5.0
