This book takes a fresh look at a familiar element of the Homeric epics - the poetic catalogue. It shows that in a variety of contexts, Homer uses catalogue poetry not only to develop his themes, but to comment on the ideals and limitations of the epic genre itself.
I have a question about the book:
‘The Art and Rhetoric of the Homeric Catalogue - Sammons, Benjamin’.
