About this product

Product Information

Homer's Iliad is often considered a poem of blunt truthfulness, his characters' motivation pleasingly simple. A closer look, however, reveals a complex interplay of characters who engage in an awful lot of lies. Beginning with Achilles, who hatches a secret plot to destroy his own people, Mark Buchan traces motifs of deception and betrayal throughout the poem. Homer's heroes offer bluster, their passion linked to and explained by their lack of authenticity. Buchan reads Homer's characters between the lies, showing how the plot is structured individual denial and what cannot be said.

Reviews
"Buchan shows that deception and betrayal play a fundamental role in the classic poems, confirming that what is unsaid, and even the lies told, are as important as what is said."-- Choice, "Full of smart, witty, and original insights, Perfidy and Passion challenges the status quo on Homeric studies, not an easy thing to do. Sophisticated, engaging, fun to read."-Patricia Rosenmeyer, Series Editor, "Full of smart, witty, and original insights, Perfidy and Passion challenges the status quo on Homeric studies, not an easy thing to do. Sophisticated, engaging, fun to read."--Patricia Rosenmeyer, Series Editor, "Original, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. Buchan does not get mired in scholarly argument or in proofs of his own originality or authority. Instead he goes right to work, interpreting the Iliad with great perception and imagination."--Louise Pratt, Emory University, "Original, thoughtful, and thought-provoking. Buchan does not get mired in scholarly argument or in proofs of his own originality or authority. Instead he goes right to work, interpreting the Iliad with great perception and imagination."-Louise Pratt, Emory University
