The Ethics of Revenge and the Meanings of the Odyssey
Loney, Alexander C. (Associate Professor of Classical Languages, Associate Professor of Classical Languages, Wheaton College)
The first in-depth examination of revenge in the Odyssey, this book provides a careful analysis of the several revenge plots in the Odyssey -- above all, of Odysseus' revenge on the suitors. It argues that Odysseus is an ambivalent hero and that revenge is an unstable organizing principle.
