Synopsis
The Iliad's depiction of politics reveals that the poem is the product of a broad consensus of performers and audiences across generations.
The Poetics of Consent breaks new ground in Homeric studies by interpreting the Iliad's depictions of political action in terms of the poetic forces that shaped the Iliad itself. Arguing that consensus is a central theme of the epic, David Elmer analyzes in detail scenes in which the poem's three political communities--Achaeans, Trojans, and Olympian gods--engage in the process of collective decision making.
These scenes reflect an awareness of the negotiation involved in reconciling rival versions of the Iliad over centuries. They also point beyond the Iliad's world of gods and heroes to the here-and-now of the poem's performance and reception, in which the consensus over the shape and meaning of the Iliadic tradition is continuously evolving.
Elmer synthesizes ideas and methods from literary and political theory, classical philology, anthropology, and folklore studies to construct an alternative to conventional understandings of the Iliad's politics. The Poetics of Consent reveals the ways in which consensus and collective decision making determined the authoritative account of the Trojan War that we know as the Iliad.

Etat : Wie neu. X, 313 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Allover very good condition. - The Poetics of Consent breaks new ground in Homeric studies by interpreting the Iliad's depictions of political action in terms of the poetic forces that shaped the Iliad itself. The Iliad as we have it is the end product of a centuries-long process of elaboration, diffusion, and competition among rival versions of the story of the fall of Troy. The early Greek world was characterized by an abundance of local communities, each of which had its own traditions regarding its legendary heroes and ancestors. For the Iliad to gain widespread acceptance as an authoritative, Panhellenic account of the Greeks' collective past, these communities had to negotiate their differences and come to a consensus regarding the proper way to narrate the saga of Troy. David F. Elmer argues that an ancient awareness of this process of negotiation underlying the lliadic tradition can be traced in the way that the poem represents the dynamics of collective decision making. Elmer analyzes in detail scenes in which the poem's three political communitiesAchaeans, Trojans, and Olympian godsengage in the process of group deliberation. These scenes reflect the ancient Greeks' awareness that the lliadic tradition remained subject to an ongoing process of negotiation among audiences with diverse local affiliations. They also point beyond the Iliad's world of gods and heroes to the here-and-now of the poem's performance and reception, in which the consensus over the shape and meaning of the lliadic tradition is continuously evolving. By synthesizing ideas and methods from literary and political theory, classical philology, anthropology, and folklore studies, Elmer constructs a vision of the Iliad that calls into question a common historicist assumption that the political dynamics depicted in the Homeric poems are to be interpreted in terms of the history of ancient political forms. Elmer demonstrates convincingly that the Iliad's portrayal of politics is not primarily a reflection of emerging political institutions. Instead, politics provides a language that enables the poemunderstood as the record of the poetic activities of many generations of poets and tradition-bearersto reflect on the dynamic process of ancient reception that resulted ultimately in our text of the Iliad.The Poetics of Consent reveals the ways in which consensus and collective decision making determined the authoritative account of the Trojan War which we know as the Iliad. The lliadic tradition is shaped not by the original creative vision of an individual but by the concerns of the communities to which the tradition belongs. - David F.
