{"product_id":"the-suitors-in-the-odyssey-pietro-pucci-9781433104756","title":"The Suitors in the Odyssey: The Clash between Homer and Archilochus","description":"The suitors in the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e strikingly resemble a very specific audience of iambic poets such as Archilochus or Semonides. Justifying these young men's deaths, the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e engages in a polemic intertext with Archilochus' attacks against the threatening epic discourse. This study is concerned with reading both the traces of this often hidden quarrel in the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and the answers we can find within the iambic texts. Although iambus and epos have been connected in earlier studies, the direct portrait of the iambic audience within the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e has not been examined. This book allows the reader to see these issues in the larger social context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pietro Pucci,Martin Steinrück\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 143310475X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433104756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/07\/2008 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 244","brand":"Pietro Pucci","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153646399743,"sku":"9781433104756","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20caf14f-9c31-4abf-b3a8-fdb6c82a1058.jpg?v=1770784877","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-suitors-in-the-odyssey-pietro-pucci-9781433104756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
