The first section offers the first full-length study in English of the paradigmatic functions of secondary narratives and minor-key episodes in the \u003cem\u003eIliad\u003c\/em\u003e. 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 \u003cem\u003eIliad\u003c\/em\u003e arising out of Phoenix's advice to Achilles in Book 9.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47781070831767,"sku":"9780198152859","price":23881.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198152859.webp?v=1778050359","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/homer-beside-himself-para-narratives-in-the-iliad-9780198152859","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
