Homeric metaphor and the lexicon – the case of ὄσσομαι.ReviewsAdvance praise: 'This excellent, timely, and lucidly written book, the first monograph to explore the significance of cognitive metaphor theory in any ancient literary corpus, stands at the cutting edge of contemporary classical studies. Zanker's careful and comprehensive account of Homeric metaphors for time, speech, mind, and selfhood will immediately establish itself as a landmark study in the field.' Douglas Cairns, University of Edinburgh Advance praise: 'Zanker intervenes in a long-standing debate on the supposed 'primitiveness' of Homer. His insightful study of metaphor in Homer argues that early epic ideas about time, the mind, and speech are more in line with the modern conception (though without fully coinciding with it) than was previously thought. Refreshing work!'
