Fighting Words and Feuding Words Studies in the Semantics of Anger in Homeric Poetry

Fighting Words and Feuding Words engages the powerful tools of Homeric poetic analysis and the anthropological study of emotion in an analysis of two anger terms highlighted in the Iliad by the Achaean prophet Calchas. Walsh argues that kotos and kholos locate two focal points for the study of aggression in Homeric poetry, the first presenting Homer's terms for feud and the second providing the native terms that designates the martial violence highlighted by the Homeric tradition.Walsh, Thomas R. is the author of 'Fighting Words and Feuding Words Studies in the Semantics of Anger in Homeric Poetry' with ISBN 9780742522312 and ISBN 0742522318.
