The first section offers the first full-length study in English of the paradigmatic functions of secondary narratives and minor-key episodes in the Iliad. None of these are irrelevant or merely ornamental: rather each is carefully selected and altered if necessary, to reflect on significant episodes of the main narrative and act as guides to its interpretation. The second section offers a general reading of the Iliad arising out of Phoenix's advice to Achilles in Book 9.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51667051577632,"sku":"NEW019815285X","price":266.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/717mEhjrAjL.jpg?v=1778957159","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/homer-beside-himself-para-narratives-in-the-iliad-019815285x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
