Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) - Small abrasions on the dust jacket. Otherwise very good and clean. Leichter Abrieb am Schutzumschlag. Sonst sehr gut und sauber. - In Sanctified Violence in Homeric Society, Margo Kitts explores the oath-making rituals and narratives found in the Iliad and articulates a theory of ritualized violence. Analyzing ritual features that are common to acts of religious violence worldwide, she focuses on the paradigms, core metaphors, ritual fictions, and poetic registers of Homeric oathsacrifices. Kitts sees the oath-sacrificing ritual performance as generating a symbolic text, which is interwoven with the poetic text of the Illiads oathsacrificing narratives. Resulting intertextual rendering may be analyzed for semantic tensions. Kittss interdisciplinary approach enlists ritual and metaphor theory to help explain some of those tensions, including that between sacrificed animals and slain men.
