Book Synopsis Homeric Conversation by : Deborah Beck
Book excerpt: Deborah Beck argues that conversation should be considered a traditional Homeric type scene, alongside other types such as arrival, sacrifice and battle. She draws on linguitic work and oral aesthetics to describe typical conversational patterns that characterise a range of situations.
