Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben, Bleistiftnotiz auf Schmutztitel, sonst sehr gut und sauber / slightly rubbed, pencil note on half title, otherwise very good and clean. - As scholars have remarked, the word kleos in the Iliad and the Odyssey alike refers to something more substantive and complex than 'fame' or 'glory'. In the Odyssey, 'glory' may be ascribed to a hero or even a heroine for far more reasons than in the Iliad. Either way, k/eos distinctly supposes an oral narrativeprincipally an 'oral history', a 'life story' or ultimately an 'oral tradition'. When broken down into its twin constituents, 'words' and 'actions' or 'deeds', a hero's Ideas serves to define him as a fully gendered social being. This book is a meditation on this concept as expressed and experienced in the adult society Telemachos finds himself in. K/eos is the yardstick by which his psychological change, nowadays acknowledged by most specialists, was appreciated by Homer's audiences. As this book shows through philological and interdisciplinary analysis, Prince Telemachos grows up in the course of the Telemachy and arguably even beyond (in book 24): his education, which is conceived largely as an apprenticeship on land and sea, admits him gradually if unevenly to a full-fledged adult kleosa kleos that nonetheless necessarily remains minor in comparison to that of his father and other elders. / Contents Foreword by Gregory Nagy Authors Prologue Acknowledgments Chapter 1: Kleos and Oral History Chapter 2: Kleos and Oral News Chapter 3: Kleos and Social Identity Chapter 4: The Little Princes Voyage in a Borrowed Ship Chapter 5: Of Beards and Boar Hunts, or, Coming of Age in the Odyssey Chapter 6: The End of the Telemachy: The Culmination of Extinction?
