The Raft of Odysseus. The Ethnographic Imagination of Homer's Odyssey.

The Raft of Odysseus. The Ethnographic Imagination of Homer's Odyssey.

Inbunden bok. Oxford University Press. 1 uppl. 2001. 272 sidor.

Nyskick. The fascinating intersection of traditional myth with an enthnographically-viewed Homeric world. An excellent book of the Greek sense of wonderment and adventure in the eighth century BC. Hardcover, glossy pictorial boards. 8:o. 235x160x22 mm. 540 g. Fine, new copy, no imperfections. [3101] /---/ Carol Dougherty argues that the resourcefulness of Odysseus as an adventurer on perilous seas served as an example to Homer's society which also had to adjust in inventive ways to turbulent conditions. The fantastic adventures of Odysseus act as a prism for the experiences of Homer's own listeners-traders, seafarers, storytellers,soldiers-and give us a glimpse into their own world of hopes and fears, 500 years after the Iliadic events were supposed to have happened. In the course of her argument, Dougherty makes liberal use of what we know about Mycenean and archaic artifacts, comparing the realities of historical shipbuilding orweaving, for example, with the often magnificently inflated account of the epics. She moves beyond the work of the French classicists Pierre Vidal-Naquet and Francois Hartog to locate the synchronic structural oppositions that organize the Homeric imagination in an evolving historical reality.
