The Talking Greeks

Speech, Animals, and the Other in Homer, Aeschylus, and Plato

Beschreibung

This book explores the link between speech, humanity, and status in ancient Greek thought. It offers new readings of the Iliad, Odyssey, Oresteia and Plato's Dialogues to argue that speech and the ability to speak were instrumental in the ancient Greeks' approach to understanding our world.
