Lexington Books20121 online resource (446 p.)Greek studies: interdisciplinary approachesDescription based upon print version of record.0-7391-4691-2 0-7391-4690-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.The quarrel -- Heroic psychology -- Mythobiographies -- Catharsis and denial -- Fathers and sons -- Mothers and sons -- Departures from maternal agendas -- Self in crisis.Viewing the Iliad and myth through the lens of modern psychology, Richard Holway exposes sacrificial childrearing practices at the root of competitive, glory-seeking ancient Greek cultures. 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 criticismPsychology in literature.FamiliesHistoryEpic poetry, GreekHistory and criticism.883/.01Holway Richard1945-1856091MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957268003321Becoming Achilles4454639UNINA
