She binds together perpetuating dichotomies that underlie the most fundamental aspects of the Western canon: beauty and evil, body and soul, depth and superficiality, truth and lie. Speaking in multiplicity, Pandora emerges as the first sign of female complexity. In this compelling study, Vered Lev Kenaan offers a radical revision of the Greek myth of the first woman. She argues that Pandora leaves a decisive mark on ancient poetics and shows that we can unravel the profound impact of Pandora's image once we recognize that Pandora embodies the very idea of the ancient literary text. Locating the myth of the first woman right at the heart of feminist interrogation of gender and textuality, Pandora's Senses moves beyond a feminist critique of masculine hegemony and shows the centrality of this iconic figure among the poetics of such central genres as the cosmological and didactic epic, the Platonic dialogue, the love elegy, and the ancient novel. Pandora's Senses innovates our understanding of gender as a critical lens through which to view ancient literature. 410 0$aWisconsin studies in classics. 606 $aPandora (Greek mythology) in literature 606 $aFemininity in literature 606 $aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPandora (Greek mythology) in literature. 615 0$aFemininity in literature. 615 0$aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a880.9/351 700 $aLev Kenaan$b Vered$01012978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973526303321 996 $aPandora's senses$92353909 997 $aUNINA
