About this product
Product Information
By focusing on the story of Hector, James M. Redfield presents an imaginative perspective not only on the Iliad but also on the whole of Homeric culture. In an expansive discussion informed by a reinterpretation of Aristotle's Poetics and a reflection on the human meaning of narrative art, the analysis of Hector leads to an inquiry into the fundamental features of Homeric culture and of culture generally in its relation to nature. Through Hector, as the "true tragic hero of the poem," the events and themes of the Iliad are understood and the function of tragedy within culture is examined. Redfield's work represents a significant application of anthropological perspectives to Homeric poetry. Originally published in 1975 (University of Chicago Press), this revised edition includes a new preface and concluding chapter by the author.

"From time to time there appear Homeric studies that speak to a wide range of readers . . . Nature and Culture in the Iliad is in that company. It opened up new prespective on the poem and its poet and remains as stimulating today as when it first appeared."-James Tatum, Dartmouth College, "Redfield's memorable study of the literary and cultural values of Homer's Iliad shines with wisdom and humanity on every page. I know of no other work on the epic that so consistently reaches this level of insight and inspiration."--Fromma Zeitlin, Princeton University, "A fine reading of the Iliad [and] a pioneering attempt to apply the insights and methods of cultural anthropology to the warrior culture of the poem. . . ."--Charles Segal, Harvard University, "Redfield's memorable study of the literary and cultural values of Homer's Iliad shines with wisdom and humanity on every page.
