    Ransom, Revenge, and Heroic Identity in the Iliad

    Ransom, Revenge, and Heroic Identity in the Iliad by Donna F. Wilson
    English | May 27, 2002 | ISBN: 0521806607, 0521032784 | True PDF | 250 pages | 1.8 MB

    Wilson examines the nature of compensation–ransom and revenge–in the liad, offering a fundamentally new reading of the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles. She presents a detailed anthropology of compensation in Homer, located in the wider context of agonistic exchange, to demonstrate how the struggle over definitions is a central feature of elite competition for status in the zero-sum and fluid ranking system of Homeric society. The study thus asserts the integral role of compensation in the traditional, cultural and poetic matrix of this foundational epic.
