Sanctified Violence in Homeric Society: Oath-Making Rituals in the Iliad
Kitts, Margo (Iowa State University)
In this book, Margo Kitts focuses on oath-making narratives found in the Iliad through which she articulates a theory of ritualized violence. She analyzes ritual paradigms, metaphors, fictions, and poetic registers as oath-making principles, which she traces through Homeric references and texts from the ancient New East.
