{"product_id":"fighting-words-and-feuding-words-thomas-r-walsh-9780739112649","title":"Fighting Words and Feuding Words: Anger and the Homeric Poems","description":"Anger is central to the Homeric epic, but few scholarly interventions have probed Homer's language beyond the study of the \u003ci\u003eIliad's\u003c\/i\u003e first word: \u003ci\u003emenis\u003c\/i\u003e. Yet Homer uses over a dozen words for anger. \u003ci\u003eFighting Words and Feuding Words\u003c\/i\u003e engages the powerful tools of Homeric poetic analysis and the anthropological study of emotion in an analysis of two anger terms highlighted in the \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e by the Achaean prophet Calchas. Walsh argues that \u003ci\u003ekotos\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ekholos\u003c\/i\u003e locate two focal points for the study of aggression in Homeric poetry, the first presenting Homer's terms for feud and the second providing the native terms that designates the martial violence highlighted by the Homeric tradition. After focusing on these two terms as used in the Iliad and the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, Walsh concludes by addressing some post-Homeric and comparative implications of Homeric anger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas R.
