This typology of scenes involving apoina, or 'ransom' and poine, or 'revenge' is the basis of Donna Wilson's detailed anthropology of compensation in Homer, which she locates in the wider context of agonistic exchange. Wilson argues that a struggle over definitions is a central feature of elite competition for status in the zero-sum and fluid ranking system characteristic of Homeric society. This system can be used to explain why Achilleus refuses Agamemnon's 'compensation' in Book 9, as well as why and how the embassy tries to mask it. Ransom, Revenge, and Heroic Identity in the Iliad thus examines the traditional semantic, cultural and poetic matrix of which compensation is an integral part. 517 3 $aRansom, Revenge, & Heroic Identity in the Iliad 606 $aTrojan War$xLiterature and the war 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature 606 $aRevenge in literature 606 $aHeroes in literature 615 0$aTrojan War$xLiterature and the war. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aRevenge in literature. 615 0$aHeroes in literature. 676 $a883/.01 700 $aWilson$b Donna F.$f1953-$0450975 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780287403321 996 $aRansom, revenge and heroic identity in the Iliad$9148100 997 $aUNINA
