Abstract

Homer's stories of Troy are part of the foundations of Western culture. What's less well known is that they also inspired Ottoman-Turkish cultural traditions. Yet even with all the historical and archaeological research into Homer and Troy, most scholars today rely heavily on Western sources, giving Ottoman work in the field short shrift. This book helps right that balance, exploring Ottoman-Turkish involvement and interest in the subject between 1870, when Heinrich Schliemann began his excavations in search of Troy on Ottoman soil, and the battle of Gallipoli in 1915, which gave the Turks their own version of the heroic epic of Troy.

Abstract

David J. Melnick published the first book of Men in Aida, a homophonic, but also homoeroticized translation of Homer’s epic Iliad, in December 1983 in an edition of 450 at Tuumba Press. After appearing in many guises and fragments, Book Two was published online in 2002 as part of the Eclipse Archive. Book Three appears for the first time in the present publication, which brings together all three books of one of the most important American avant-garde poems.

Abstract

Die Schrift De antro Nympharum ist die längste aus der Antike erhaltene allegorische Deutung einer Stelle aus den Dichtungen Homers. Der neuplatonische Philosoph Porphyrios (späteres 3. Jh. n. Chr.) nutzt die Beschreibung der auf der Insel Ithaka gelegenen Nymphengrotte aus dem 13. Buch der Odyssee für eine faszinierende Auslegung, die Einblicke in Strategien und Wirkungsabsichten einer jahrhundertealten Homerexegese gibt und neuplatonische Aneignungsweisen der literarischen Tradition beispielhaft vor Augen führt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Fragen nach der Unsterblichkeit der Seele und der Unterscheidung von wahrnehmbarer und intelligibler Welt, die in den Essays unter astronomisch-astrologischen, literaturwissenschaftlichen, philosophischen, religionswissenschaftlichen und rezeptionsgeschichtlichen Aspekten kontextualisiert und erörtert werden.

Abstract

This text explores the content, character, & structure of the Homeric Odyssey through a modern psychological lens, focusing on how the epic both represents the workings of the human mind & provides for its audiences - both ancient & modern - a therapeutic model for coping with the exigencies of chance & fate. By reading the Odyssey as an exploration of the constitutive elements of human identity, the function of narrative in defining the self, & the interaction between the individual & their social context, the book addresses enduring questions about the poem, such as the importance of Telemachus's role, why Odysseus must tell his own tale, & the epic's sudden & unexpected closure. Through these dynamics, the book reasons, the Odyssey not only instructs readers about how narrative shapes a sense of agency but also offers solutions for avoiding dangerous stories & destructive patterns of thought.

Abstract

This book presents a rigorous philological examination of every instance where Hektor enters the Iliad, analysing each entrance's narrative context and style. In so doing, the author challenges and destabilises previous popular and scholarly assumptions about Hektor, and about the Iliad as a whole.
