The Iliad dramatizes and cathartically purges not only strife within and between generations but knowledge of sacrificial parenting. Holway's analysis yields a new reading of the Iliad, from its first word to its last, and a revised account of the family dynamics underlying ancient Greek cultures.Greek studies.Psychology in literatureFamiliesGreeceHistoryTo 1500Epic poetry, GreekHistory and criticismElectronic books.Psychology in literature.FamiliesHistoryEpic poetry, GreekHistory and criticism.883/.01Holway Richard1945-943252MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457652103321Becoming Achilles2128827UNINA
