About The Book
Description
Author
Just as the story of an epic poem is woven from characters and plot so too the individual similes within an epic create a unique simile world. Like any other story it is peopled by individual characters happenings and experiences such as the shepherd and his flocks a storm at sea or predators hunting prey. The simile world that complements the epic mythological story is re-imagined afresh in relation to the themes of each epic poem. As Deborah Beck argues in this stimulating book over time a simile world takes shape across many poems composed over many centuries. This evolving landscape resembles the epic story world of battles voyages and heroes that comes into being through relationships among different epic poems. Epic narrative is woven from a warp of the mythological story world and a weft of the simile world. They are partners in creating the fabric of epic poetry.
