Book Synopsis The Homeric Simile in Comparative Perspectives by : Jonathan L. Ready
Book excerpt: Presenting a new take on what made the Homeric epics such successful examples of verbal artistry, this volume explores the construction of the Homeric simile and the performance of Homeric poetry from the neglected comparative perspectives offered by the study of modern-day oral traditions.
