Heroes' Names, Homeric Identities
Carolyn Higbie
An account of the practice of naming the Homeric poems. Demonstrates how the mode of identification signals one's place in the social fabric, with or without the addition of personal history, and discusses word-play involving names and the possible evolutionary relationship between epithets and the proper nouns that constitute names in Homer. Other topics include the metrical utility of patronymics, and the naming of women in Homer. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
