Da mesma forma, também a alma (psykhé) homérica não é exatamente um ¿sopro vital¿, como tem sido afirmado por alguns especialistas, mas é preciso compreendê-la em sua relação com a morte como um duplo fantasmático do defunto e, pois, como uma mímesis atenuada da vida (e não como um princípio vital propriamente dito). Assim, ela não é uma parte do ser humano como o thymós, o nóos ou as phrénes, mas uma cópia do homem como um todo. O objetivo desse trabalho é provar que é falsa a opinião de Snell segundo a qual a alma homérica não tem unidade. Com efeito, ele afirma que a alma como unidade de consciência do homem (da qual depende todo e qualquer ato responsável) surgiu concomitantemente à filosofia; entretanto, é mais fácil de acreditar que, pelo contrário, o método analítico dos filósofos leva a uma visão mais fragmentária do ser humano e de sua consciência. A ausência notável de palavras para designar o ¿corpo¿ stricto sensu, e o análogo excesso de palavras para ¿alma¿ (do qual resulta uma certa variedade de sutis diferenças de significado) não implicam em que não existisse, na épica grega, uma unidade de sentido para tais noções, uma vez que podemos admitir que elas se encontravam incluídas na noção simples de ¿homem¿ (ánthropos), a qual as açambarcava em uma só unidade. Esse é, por excelência, o objeto do gênero épico, isso é, os grandes e inesquecíveis guerreiros do passado - todos eles, naturalmente, homens. Eis, portanto, quem, justamente, foi Aquiles: um homem consciente de seu destino de morte (Moîra), responsável por seus atos e, nesse sentido, um herói<br>Abstract: The human body (sôma) in Homer is not exactly a ¿body¿ in the sense Plato or our modern texts give to this word; we know it means ¿corpse¿ rather than ¿body¿. In the same way, Homer¿s soul (psykhé) is not exactly a ¿breath of life¿ as some specialists have affirmed, but it must be considered in relation to death, like a spectral replica of the dead man, and so a weak imitation of life (not properly a principle of life). It is not a part of the human being like thymós, nóos, phrénes, etc, but an entire copy of him. The object of this work is to disprove Snell¿s opinion that the Homeric soul has no unity. Although Snell affirmed the soul as unity of human consciousness (on which depends any kind of responsible act) appeared at the time of Philosophic practices, it is easier to believe the philosopher¿s analytic method has conducted to a more fragmentary vision of the human being and his consciousness. The notable absence of words for ¿body¿, stricto sensu, and the analog excess of words for ¿soul¿ (with a variety of tenuous differences of sense) do not imply that there was no unity for such notions in the Greek epic. We can assume they were comprehended in the simple notion of ¿man¿ (ánthropos), which unified them. The actual object of the epic genre is the great and unbelievable warriors of the past and, of course, all were men. Achilles was nothing but this: a man aware of his mortal destiny (Moîra), responsible for his acts and thus a hero<br>Mestrado<br>Mestre em Linguística

A construção, transmissão e preservação dos versos que compõem os poemas homéricos constituem questões que acompanham a filologia desde seu surgimento. A teoria oral e sua hipótese de composição em performance trouxeram para os estudos homéricos novas formas de abordar essas questões. Nas últimas décadas, pesquisadores da teoria oral analisam até que ponto esse contexto de apresentação e/ou criação dos poemas homéricos influenciou sua construção e como é possível identificar os traços dessa enunciação nos textos atuais. É o caso de Egbert J. Bakker, que se baseia no contexto de enunciação, ou seja, a própria performance, para evidenciar o caráter dêitico do aumento verbal no aoristo indicativo. Partindo da visão da Ilíada e da Odisseia como resultados de atos de enunciação em contextos específicos de apresentação oral, a pesquisa aqui apresentada estudará a variação das formas aumentadas ou não aumentadas dos tempos secundários do indicativo em algumas passagens dos cantos XI, XVI e XXII da Ilíada, a fim de verificar se há um contexto específico na narração que motive o uso do aumento verbal.<br>The composition, transmission and preservation of the verses that compose the Homeric poems are matters that accompany philology since its inception. The oral theory and its hypothesis of composition in performance brought to Homeric studies new ways to approach these matters. In the last decades, researchers on oral theory have been analyzing to what extent this presentation or creation context of the Homeric poems influenced its construction and how it is possible to identify traces of enunciation in the current texts. It is the case of Egbert J. Bakker, who, based on the context of enunciation, that is, the performance itself, highlighted the deictic aspect of verbal augment in indicative aorist. Based on the vision of the Iliad and Odyssey as results of enunciation acts in specific contexts of oral presentation, this research examine the variation of augmented or not augmented forms of secondary indicative in some passages of books XI, XVI and XXI of the Iliad to check for a specific context in the narration that motivates the use of verbal augment.

This master’s thesis consists of two articles where the first article is theoretical and the second is the empirical study. Article I The purpose with this paper is to explore and illuminate how smart home and smart home technology can contribute to enhance health and Quality of Life in elderly citizens and allow them to live longer in their home. The paper provides a brief introduction to health promotion and highlights the thesis theoretical framework and foundation of Aaron Antonovsky’s theory of Salutogenesis. In light of a growing elderly population worldwide, many nations are eager to search for new ways to meet this challenge. One of several possible solutions to this is smart homes and smart home technology. The papers concluding remarks is that even though there exists little empirical data in relation to achieved health benefits the literature shows that smart homes and smart home technology might contribute to enhance QoL in elderly citizens. Furthermore the paper is providing a proposal to a health promotional (salutogenic) framework and an example on how salutogenesis can be used in a practical and new way of thinking in relation to future development of smart homes and smart home technology. Article II The study’s primary objective is to examine in which ways smart homes and smart home technology can contribute to enhance health and Quality of Life (QoL) in elderly citizens and allow them to live longer in their homes. In addition to this it aims to explore if such technology increases safety, independence and enhances social activity. Six in-depth interviews with elderly citizens living in a smart home make the basis of the result. The interview protocol included questions regarding QoL, smart homes and smart home technology, safety and security and independence. The interviews were recorded and the recordings were transcribed. To analyze the data material a content analysis  and systematical text condensation were used as inspiration. The results showed that there wasn’t a single factor that could contribute to an enhancement in QoL, but the totality of several. The study concludes that smart homes and smart home technology can contribute to enhance health and QoL in elderly citizens and master to live longer in their homes, but further investigation is needed in order to draw a final conclusion.<br>Denne masteroppgaven er skrevet i artikkelform og består av en teoretisk og en empirisk artikkel. Artikkel I Hensikten artikkelen er å utforske og belyse hvordan smarthus og smarthusteknologi kan være med på å forbedre helse og livskvalitet hos eldre mennesker. I tillegg til dette undersøkes det om denne teknologien kan bidra til å øke eldre menneskers muligheter for å bo lengre i sine egne hjem. Artikkelen gir en kort innføring i helsefremming, og belyser masteroppgavens teoretiske rammeverk og fundament i Aaron Antonovsky’s teori om Salutogenese. I lyset av en raskt voksende aldrende befolkning verden over, er mange nasjoner ivrige etter å søke nye metoder for å møte denne utfordringen. En av flere mulige løsninger til dette er smarthus og smarthusteknologi. Artikkelens avsluttende bemerkninger er at selv om det finnes lite empirisk data på dette feltet, viser litteraturen at smarthus og smarthusteknologi kan være med å bidra til en økning i livskvalitet hos eldre mennesker, dette gjennom en økt følelse selvstendighet, trygghet, sikkerhet og trivsel. Videre blir det foreslått et mulig helsefremmende salutogent rammeverk, og gitt et eksempel på hvordan salutogenese kan brukes i praksis og som kan være med på å bidra i utviklingen av fremtidige helsefremmende smarthus. Artikkel II Studien tar sikte på å undersøke på hvilken måte smarthus og smarthusteknologi bidrar til å forbedre helse og livskvalitet hos eldre mennesker og om denne teknologien bidrar til å øke deres muligheter til å bo lengre i sine hjem. Det undersøkes også om denne teknologien bidrar til økt sikkerhet, uavhengighet og sosial aktivitet blant eldre. Det ble gjennomført seks dybdeintervjuer med eldre beboere i et smarthus som danner det empiriske grunnlaget i studien. Intervjuguiden består av spørsmål som tar for seg livskvalitet (QoL), smarthus og smarthusteknologi, sikkerhet og uavhengighet. For å analysere datamaterialet har en innholdsanalyse og systematisk tekstkondensering vært en inspirasjon. Resultatene viser at det ikke var en enkelt faktor som bidro til å øke deres livskvalitet, men det totale av det Kampen Omsorg+ (KO+) tilbød. Smarthus og smarthusteknologi kan bidra til å øke helse og livskvaliteten og i tillegg bidra til at eldre mennesker kan leve lengre i sine hjem, men det er et behov for videre undersøkelser for å kunne trekke en avsluttende konklusjon.

Na epopéia homérica, a ágora, a assembléia do povo, constitui espaço privilegiado de interação social, servindo de cenário para a figuração de eventos importantes para a condução da trama, tanto da Ilíada quanto da Odisséia. No âmbito dos estudos homéricos, aqueles que se dedicam à análise histórica dos poemas têm feito largo uso desses episódios, na busca de chegar a explicações coerentes a respeito dos modos de operação da sociedade retratada na narrativa. Qual seria o papel das assembléias na sociedade homérica? Qual seria a constituição social do povo presente nessas reuniões? Seria ela conformada aos moldes de uma sociedade de caráter patriarcal ou refletiria as instituições das nascentes póleis arcaicas? Ou seria pura ficção, um amálgama de elementos contraditórios, não retratando uma sociedade que tivesse tido existência fora dos textos? O principal obstáculo para o encaminhamento dessas questões encontra-se na própria natureza dos textos homéricos. Elas são caras à nossa forma de perceber o mundo, mas não encontram eco no texto. Os poemas não apresentam registros que possibilitem respostas precisas para elas. Quando as questões que animam a interpretação buscam a clara delimitação das instâncias organizacionais da sociedade figurada na Ilíada e na Odisséia, a memória preservada, no registro épico da ágora homérica, apresenta-se para nós permeada de ambigüidade e indefinições, que, para serem rompidas, necessitam de esquemas de referências que possibilitem contextos a partir dos quais se possa empreender a análise. No presente trabalho, apresentam-se reflexão sobre a forma como a crítica especializada tem contornado tais problemas de interpretação e proposta de hermenêutica das cenas de assembléia na épica, tendo como fio condutor as questões da conformação da ágora como elemento definidor do estatuto da vida civilizada; da oposição entre assunto público e privado; e da natureza social do povo presente nas assembléias<br>In Homeric epic poems, the ágora, the assembly of the people, constitutes a privileged space of social interaction. It serves as stage set for portraying important events for plot conduction, both in the Iliad and the Odissey. In scope of Homeric studies, those engaged in historical analysis of the epic poems have made wide use of these episodes in search of coherent explanations, regarding the operational ways of the society portrayed throughout the narrative. Which would be the role of the assemblies in the Homeric society? Which would be the social constitution of the people present in these meetings? Would it be conformed to the moulds of a society of patriarchal character or would it reflect the institutions of the rising archaic pólis? Or would it be pure fiction, an amalgam of contradictory elements, not portraying a society that had had existence out of the texts? The main obstacle for the guiding of these questions meets in the proper nature of the Homeric texts. They are so dear to the way we perceive the world, but they don\'t find any echo in the text. The poems do not present registers that make possible accurate answers for the asked questions. When the questions that liven up the interpretation search the clear delimitation of the organizational instances of the society depicted in the Iliad and in the Odyssey, the memory preserved in the epic register of the Homeric ágora comes out pervaded by ambiguity and unclear settings, that, to be breached, need design of references that make possible contexts from which the analysis can be undertaken. This work presents a reflection on the form as the specialized critic has contoured such problems of interpretation and a proposal of hermeneutics of the assembly scenes in the epic, having as conducting wire the questions related to the conformation of the ágora as defining element of civilized life; the opposition between public and private subject; and the social nature of people present in the assemblies

Much has been written on the famous transition from muthos to logos or from myth to reason. However, there is little on how the proponents of myth responded. They fought back with mutho-logia, that is, with a logos about myth. This rational approach invoked the same logos that is generally associated with philosophia. In fact, philosophia and muthologia are at times so intimately connected that until the Enlightenment period, it is often diffi­cult to distinguish between them. This is due to the spell of myth or more precisely because of the allegorical interpretation of myth. In this essay, I at­tempt to shed some light on the origin and development of this rather unremarked and yet remarkable event in the history of philosophy.<br>Mucho se ha escrito sobre la célebre transición del muthos al logos, o del mito a la razón. Sin embargo, el tratamiento que se le ha dado al asunto de cómo respondieron los defensores del mito es más bien escaso. Ellos respondieron con mutho-logia; es decir, con un logos sobre el mito. Esta aproximación racional invocaba el mismo logos con el que generalmente se asocia la filosofía. De hecho, la philosophía y la muthología están tan estrechamente relacionadas por momentos que hasta el período de la Ilustración suele ser difícil distinguirlas entre sí. Esto se debe al encanto del mito o, más precisamente, a la interpretación alegórica del mito. En este ensayo pretendo esclarecer el origen y el desarrollo de este poco notado, aunque notable, evento en la historia de la filosofía.

Aquesta tesi presenta un estudi comparatiu de les dones treballadores a partir de l’anàlisi dels primers testimonis escrits en llengua grega: les inscripcions micèniques i les fonts literàries de la Ilíada i l’Odissea. Des d’un inici, les tauletes en Lineal B han revelat la presència de nombrosos grups de treball formats per dones que depenen del palau i que es distingeixen d’altres dones que semblen ocupar un lloc privilegiat. Els poemes homèrics sovint distingeixen, en general, dues categories de dones: dones aristocràtiques, `senyores’ o reines, i el col·lectiu de serventes o esclaves que apareixent generalment en grup realitzant les tasques que els són assignades. Aquesta recerca se centra en l’anàlisi de les dones treballadores sense tenir en consideració el personal de culte ni altres categories de dones que podrien formar part de l’elit política i religiosa, com les sacerdotesses i reines. L’objectiu principal d’aquest estudi és fer una anàlisi comparativa de les característiques d’aquestes dones treballadores deduïbles dels textos micènics i els poemes homèrics. Aquesta recerca busca respondre si hi ha continuïtat o ruptura en el paper que aquestes dones tenien en el món del treball, en l’economia i, en definitiva, en la societat de l’antiga Grècia del segon i primer mil·lenni a.C. Amb aquesta finalitat, s’examina per separat el lèxic i el context que pot aportar informació sobre els sectors econòmics en què estan presents les dones treballadores, els seus oficis, el grau d’especialització, els ètnics que poden ser indicatius dels seus possibles orígens geogràfics i socials, i alguns aspectes importants de l’organització del treball, com el nombre de dones, la jerarquia del treball i la composició dels grups per raó d’edat i de gènere. Només després, s’intenta comparar les dades obtingudes per identificar, si escau, característiques afins o divergents en ambdues fonts. El segon objectiu aborda el grau de dependència d’aquestes dones. Aspectes com el nivell de control del seu treball, l’assignació de racions, productes o béns, o el temps de la prestació de serveis, durant tot o part de l’any, podrien indicar diferents nivells de dependència laboral i econòmica i que algunes dones treballadores poguessin tenir mitjans alternatius o complementaris de subsistència. El tercer objectiu es proposa observar l’estatus i la condició d’aquestes dones en el teixit social del segon i primer mil·lenni a.C. Una anàlisi comparativa d’aquest tipus implica afrontar problemes de diferents magnituds, alguns de caràcter interpretatiu o lèxic, altres relacionats amb el diferent àmbit palatial i la diversitat de contextos polítics i econòmics dels regnes micènics i homèrics, o la diferent naturalesa de les fonts escrites i la informació limitada que proporcionen. No obstant això, aquests són els primers documents que tenim. Amb aquestes limitacions, l’anàlisi comparativa mostra notables coincidències en ambdues fonts, destacant la importància que tenen com a agents econòmics en alguns sectors productius, l’organització de grups de treball ben estructurats i la continuïtat d’un estatus social que no és tan uniforme com podria semblar inicialment. Dins d’aquesta continuïtat, també es poden observar certes diferències que revelen en el primer mil·lenni una major divisió sexual del treball, una reducció de la seva presència en determinats oficis i sectors econòmics, i una tendència a situar la seva activitat laboral permanentment dins de l’οἶκος, fet que, en la nostra opinió, fa probable un major control laboral i social d’aquestes dones i anuncia un canvi en el paper que jugaran en l’economia i la societat del primer mil·lenni.<br>Esta tesis presenta un estudio comparado de las mujeres trabajadoras a partir del análisis de los primeros testimonios escritos en lengua griega: las inscripciones micénicas y las fuentes literarias de la Ilíada y la Odisea. Desde un inicio, las tablillas en Lineal B han revelado la presencia de numerosos grupos de trabajo formados por mujeres que dependen de la administración palaciega y que se distinguen de otras mujeres que parecen ocupar un lugar privilegiado. Los poemas homéricos suelen distinguir, a grandes rasgos, dos categorías de mujeres: las mujeres aristocráticas, `señoras’ o reinas, y el colectivo de sirvientas o esclavas que aparecen generalmente en grupo realizando las tareas que les son asignadas.

El objetivo principal de este estudio es hacer un análisis comparativo de las características de esas mujeres trabajadoras deducibles de los textos micénicos y de los poemas homéricos. Esta investigación trata de responder si hay continuidad o ruptura en el rol que estas mujeres tenían en el mundo laboral, en la economía y, en definitiva, en la sociedad de la Grecia antigua del segundo y del primer milenio a.C. Para ello, se examina, de forma separada en cada fuente, el léxico y el contexto que puede aportar información sobre los sectores económicos en los que están presentes, sus oficios, el grado de especialización, los étnicos que pueden ser indicativos de sus posibles orígenes geográficos y sociales, y algunos aspectos importantes de la organización del trabajo, como el número de mujeres, la jerarquía laboral y la composición de los grupos de trabajo por razón de edad y sexo. Sólo después, se intenta comparar los datos obtenidos para identificar, en su caso, características afines o divergentes en ambas fuentes. El segundo objetivo aborda el grado de dependencia de estas mujeres. El nivel de control de su trabajo, la asignación de raciones, productos o bienes, o la duración de la prestación de servicios, durante todo o parte del año, pueden ser indicativos de que entre estos equipos de trabajadoras podría haber distintos niveles de dependencia laboral y económica, y que algunas mujeres podrían tener medios alternativos o complementarios de subsistencia. El tercer objetivo se propone observar el estatus y la condición de estas mujeres en el entramado social del segundo y el primer milenio a.C. Un análisis comparativo de esta clase supone afrontar problemas de distintas magnitudes, algunos de naturaleza interpretativa o léxica, otros relacionados con el distinto ámbito palacial y los diferentes contextos políticos y económicos de los reinos micénicos y homéricos, o la diferente naturaleza de ambas fuentes escritas y la información limitada que proporcionan. Sin embargo, éstos son los primeros testimonios que tenemos. Con estas limitaciones, el análisis comparativo muestra notables coincidencias en ambas fuentes, destacando la importancia que tienen como agentes económicos en algunos sectores productivos, la organización de grupos de trabajo estructurados, y la continuidad de un estatus social que no es tan uniforme como podría inicialmente parecer. Dentro de esta continuidad, se pueden observar también ciertas diferencias que revelan en el primer milenio una mayor división sexual del trabajo, una reducción de su presencia en determinados oficios y sectores económicos, y una tendencia a localizar su actividad laboral permanentemente en el οἶκος lo que, en nuestra opinión, hace probable un mayor control laboral y social de estas mujeres y anuncia un cambio en el papel que tendrán en la economía y la sociedad del primer milenio.<br>This dissertation presents a comparative study of working women based on the analysis of the first documents written in Greek: Mycenaean inscriptions and literary sources of the Iliad and the Odyssey. From the outset, Mycenaean tablets revealed the presence of numerous working groups formed by women who depend on the palatial administration, and who differ from other women who seem to occupy a privileged place. Homeric poems often distinguish, in general, two categories of women: aristocratic women, `ladies’ or queens, and the collective of maids or slaves who usually appear in group performing the tasks assigned to them. This research focuses on the analysis of working women without considering cult personnel or other categories of women who form part of the political and religious elite, such as priestesses and queens. The main aim of this study is to make a comparative analysis of the characteristics of these women, which could be deduced from Mycenaean texts and Homeric poems. This research intends to answer whether there is continuity or rupture in the role that these women played in the working world, in the economy and, ultimately, in the society of Ancient Greece of the second and first millennium B.C. To this end, it has been separately examined the terms and the context documented in each source that provides information on the economic sectors in which they are present, their occupations, the degree of specialization, some ethnics that may be indicative of their possible geographical and social origins, and some important aspects of work organization, such as the number of women, hierarchy relationship, and the composition of working groups by age and gender. Only then, we attempt to compare the data obtained to identify, if possible, the related or divergent characteristics in both sources. The second objective is to examine the degree of dependence of these women. The level of control over their work, the allocation of rations, products or goods, or the extent to which services are provided during all or part of the year, may indicate that there could be different levels of labour and economic dependence, and that some women might have complementary or alternative livelihoods. The third objective is to observe the status and condition of these women in the social fabric of the second and first millennium B.C. A comparative analysis of the first documents involves facing problems of different magnitudes, some of an interpretative or lexical nature, others related to the different palatial scope and the diverse political and economic contexts of the Mycenaean and Homeric realms, or the different nature of both written sources and the limited information they provide. Nevertheless, these are the first written sources we have. With these limitations, the comparative analysis uncovers remarkable coincidences, highlighting the importance that they have as economic agents in some productive sectors, the organization of structured working groups, and the continuity of a social status that is not as uniform as it might initially appear. Within this continuity, certain differences can also be observed that reveal on the first millennium a greater sexual division of labour, a reduction in their presence in certain trades and economic sectors, and a tendency to locate their work permanently in the οἶκος, what, in our opinion, makes probable a greater labour and social control of these women and heralds a change in the role they will play in the economy and the society of the first millennium.<br>Universitat Autònomad de Barcelona.

This thesis examines the Indianapolis Home Show and its significance to the city of Indianapolis in the twentieth century. Since 1922, the annual show has influenced the development of residential architecture in Indiana by introducing the newest, most innovative products related to the home in its many exhibitor booths. Many of the exhibited products have since become parts of our every day lives. Each year, the show has also presented the people of Indianapolis with a fully landscaped "centerpiece" home-a home that embodies good design, excellent craftsmanship, quality materials, the latest styles, and innovative features. The legacy of the eighty-two (+) centerpiece homes reaches beyond Indianapolis to communities across the state including Terre Haute, Muncie, Hope and Logansport-places where the centerpieces have been rebuilt or copied. The centerpiece homes stand as testaments to the longevity and endurance of the Indianapolis Home Show from its beginning in 1922 through the lean years of the depression, its reemergence after World War II, and its duration to the turn of a new century. The Indianapolis Home Show has had an exceptional reputation, receiving national praise from many admirers. It has been recognized by numerous publications such as American Builder, Architectural Forum, Architectural Record, Arts and Architecture, and Better Homes and Gardens. In 2002, The Indianapolis Home Show celebrated its eightieth anniversary. Hoosiers continue to look forward to what they will see at the home show, and travel from all parts of the state to experience its innovative exhibits and centerpiece home.<br>Department of Architecture

Dos Cantos 6 a 13 da Odisseia, Homero narra a estada de Odisseu em Esquéria, a terra dos feácios. Durante a recepção de Alcínoo ao herói, uma tensão sutil se desenvolve: enquanto o anfitrião deseja descobrir a identidade de seu misterioso convidado, o herói luta para manter-se anônimo e garantir sua condução para casa. Essa tensão se desenrola num jogo de palavras sutil e elegante, no qual se digladiam o mestre da astúcia, o polúmetis Odisseu, e aquele de forte mente, alkí-nóos, o perspicaz Alcínoo. A essa disputa dou o nome de jogo do discurso. Conforme aqui defendo, tal jogo toma forma abaixo da superfície das palavras, e seus dois participantes conversam muito mais por meio do não-dito do que pelo que de fato dizem. Para que uma análise desse jogo intelectual seja possível, proponho um resgate da figura de Alcínoo, cujo nome defendo significar alkí-nóos, força-mente, como figura astuta e perspicaz, o que vai de encontro à opinião difundida de que o rei dos feácios é anódino ou pouco inteligente. Conforme argumento, ele permanece atento às manobras retóricas de seu convidado, o qual busca a todo custo tecer discursos agradáveis e proveitosos (meilíkhioi kaì kerdaléoi mûthoi), num processo que culmina com sua cartada final: a narrativa das aventuras. Alcínoo, mesmo percebendo os recursos astuciosos e manipulativos de seu convidado, rende-se a seus talentos e regozija-se com sua performance.<br>From Book 6 till the beginning of Book 13 in the Odyssey, Homer tells us of Odysseus sojourn in Scheria, the land of the Phaeacians. During Alcinous reception of the hero, a subtle tension develops between the two: while the host wishes to discover the identity of his mysterious guest, the hero strives to remain anonymous and secure his conveyance home. This tension unfolds in a subtle and elegant game of words in which the two oponents meet: the master of of tricks, Odysseus polúmetis, and the one of a strong mind, alkí-nóos, shrewd Alcinous. I call this contest the discourse game. As I wish to defend, such game takes place beneath the surface of words, and the participants maintain a conversation in which what remains unexpressed communicates more than what is actually said. For such an analysis to be possible, I propose to rescue Alcinous, whose name I claim to mean strength-mind, from the widespread opinion that the king is foolish or unintelligent. As I argue, he is very attentive to the rhetorical maneuvers of his guest, who is trying to fabricate pleasing and profitable speeches (meilíkhioi kaì kerdaléoi mûthoi), in a process that culminates with his final play: the narrative of the adventures. Alcinous, although detecting and understanding the crafty and manipulative purposes of his guest, surrenders to his talents as a storyteller and enjoys his performance.

We start from a point of view which dialogues with musicology and connects the techniques of composition and improvisation of the bard. We aim to discuss the relationship of these techniques of composition in performance with the text that we have nowadays. Pointing traces of its construction, of its form and its style, we try to understand these interactions in poetic-musical formation of the poems.<br>Propomos com esta Dissertação revisitar as obras de Homero tendo em vista aspectos de sua composição poética que remetem aos elementos de performance, bem como a sociedade oral em que os mesmos foram concebidos.

Tradução e estudo do discurso \"Contra Timarco\", de Ésquines. O estudo se concentra na condição tríplice do texto, como discurso jurídico, retrato do comportamento sexual masculino da Atenas do Período Clássico e exemplo da recepção primitiva da obra homérica em uma situação distante do contexto dos festivais e simpósios.<br>Translation and study of the speech \"Against Timarchos\", by Aeschines. The analysis focus on the trifold condition of the text, as a juridical speech, a portrait of the male sexual behavior in Classic Athens and an example of early reception of Homer\'s poetry, in a condition that differs from festivals and symposiums.

Les Parekbolai d’Eustathe de Thessalonique sur l’Iliade constituent un texte qui n’est traduit et analysé ni enfrançais ni dans une autre langue européenne. Nous proposons une traduction du commentaire d’Eustathe auchant VI de l’Iliade et une analyse technique qui sert à montrer : i) en quoi consiste la particularité du textecomme Parekbolai, ii) quelle est l’originalité d’Eustathe, iii) de quelle manière le scholiaste sélectionne,combine et compile les sources différentes, iv) dans quel but il fait une compilation d’innombrables extraitsdans son commentaire continu, et enfin v) quelle est la lecture d’Homère chez Eustathe de Thessalonique.Nous tentons, d’abord, de faire une traduction littérale du texte d’Eustathe pour montrer l’esprit analytique etsynthétique du scholiaste par rapport au texte homérique. Nous passons ensuite à une analyse technique ducommentaire où nous proposons une troisième lecture technique de la deuxième lecture sur le texte d’Homère.Pour cela, nous proposons une classification thématique des extraits de commentaires qui composentprogressivement la réception d’Homère chez Eustathe.

The goal of this master thesis was to evaluate the field of Smart home applications run on mobile platforms such as smart phones. This was at the time a relatively new field that has attracted the attention of Smart phone giants like Apple and Google. This raised the question whether or not the users willingness to embrace the technology. To evaluate the field, a literature study was conducted covering the Smart home technology, and Apple’s and Google’s Smart home solutions. The rendered in a prototype for a Smart home communication application which was run on the Android platform. The prototype was then used in user tests focusing on the usability of the application and the field of Smart home smart phone applications. Even though the usability of the application was regarded fairly low, positive results were obtained regarding the evaluation of the field it self. This points to promising progress of Smart home applications run on smart phones.

Driven by the Internet of Things, devices and appliances will be increasingly connected to each other and the people within the home. In order for the communication to be possible a standard for communication is needed. In many cases there are too many standards, and for other cases there may instead be an absence of standard. This thesis provides a contemporary view of future developments of homes and the current standardization progress. Four domains in homes are investigated: the automated home domain, the sustainable home domain, the healthy home domain and the manufacturing home domain. Trends and technologies are identified that drive a change in homes. Services are described that may be provided in homes. The thesis discusses how services from different domains may be integrated, with a further investigation of the networked manufacturing service and its underlying communication infrastructure. Finally standards are identified and analyzed in regard to the communication infrastructure of the networked manufacturing service. The standardization development is progressing for each home domain. However, potential standard gaps are still present for many of the cross domain device communication. No standard has been identified for integration of services and integration of the business ecosystem in the manufacturing home domain. Similarly there is no standard for the software of 3D printing. New standards or further development of existing standards is needed to realize the networked manufacturing service.

Since their appearance in 1793 John Flaxman's illustrations to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey have been associated with the ancient art that inspired their commission. In this thesis they are examined from a standpoint other than that adopted in the major literature. Besides sustaining Flaxman's own assertion that the designs were to be used for sculpture, their conception is related to outline designs submitted to his former emloyer of 12 years, industrialist Josiah Wedgwood. More significantly, their most conspicuous characteristics--their two-dimensional space, absence of colour, texture, and detail and most noticeably their rendering in simple outline—are, for the first time, placed in another context of considerable importance in the 18th Century. Line drawing and its multiple-production counterpart, line engraving, were the representational modes of choice in the transmission of essential ideas in a wide variety of disciplines including his own designs for Wedgwood. Exclusive of the connection with ancient art, simple line would have been regarded as the most suitable form of illustration for the epic poems which were being studied at the time as models of the essential human society. This thesis treats Flaxman's designs as one aspect of the effort to define universal truths and the related need to create conceptual models of them in the 18th Century. To establish the designs in this-j broader context, the first four chapters set out in succession: the search for, and representation of, the essential in the 18th Century; Flaxman's relationship to it with special reference to his education and 12 year association with Wedgwood; the production of the Homer designs themselves from his studies of art works he had seen and, the critical reviews of the illustrations and their subsequent adoption by other artists as sources of inspiration. The thesis concludes by critically analyzing Flaxman's achievement, reviewing his objectives for the series and relating the designs to industrial/workshop drawings by Flaxman and other contemporary artists.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of<br>Graduate

O presente trabalho visa a analisar um grupo específico de personagens femininas na Odisseia de Homero: as esposas de reis. Por esposas entendo as mulheres casadas (mortais) que estão vivas no momento presente da narrativa do poema, a saber: Helena, Arete e Penélope. Escolhi estudá-las de acordo com as funções que me parecem ser as mais importantes desempenhadas por elas nesse poema homérico; desse modo, dividi a pesquisa em duas partes, de acordo com esses papéis: a primeira parte consiste na análise das mulheres em cenas de hospitalidade, a segunda, em cenas de narrativas embutidas enunciadas por elas. Assim, analisarei as mulheres enquanto anfitriãs e narradoras. Em ambos os tipos de cena, faz-se presente o tema da tecelagem, que em Homero constitui tarefa exclusivamente feminina, e que também é importante para compreender as personagens femininas dentro do recorte aqui escolhido.<br>This study analyses a group of female characters in Homers Odyssey: kings wives. By wives, I mean married (mortal) women alive during the poems plot: Helen, Arete and Penelope. I have studied the most important functions they perform in the epos; each part of the thesis is dedicated to one of them: the first one analyses how wives act in hospitality scenes, the second one, the embedded narratives told by them. Thus, my object is to discuss their role as hostesses and storytellers. Weaving, which is a typical female activity in Homer, is an important theme in both types of scene and proves to be relevant to understanding the aformentioned roles.

This thesis argues that the defining characteristic of intra-familial relationships in both the Iliad and the Odyssey is inequality. Homeric relationship pairs that are presented positively are strongly marked by an uneven distribution of power and authority, and when family members do not subscribe to this ideology, the result is a dysfunctional relationship that is condemned by the poet and used as a negative paradigm for his characters. Moreover, the inequality favoured by the epics proceeds according to strict role-based rules with little scope for innovation according to personality, meaning that determination of authority is simple in the majority of cases. Wives are expected to submit themselves to their husbands, sons to their fathers, and less powerful brothers to their more dominant siblings. This rigid hierarchy does create the potential for problems in some general categories of relationship, and relations between mothers and sons in particular are strained in both epics, both because of the shifting power dynamic between them caused by the son’s increasing maturity and independence from his mother and her world, and because of Homeric epic’s persistent conjunction of motherhood with death. This category of familial relationships is portrayed in the epics as doomed to failure, but others are able to be depicted positively through adhering to the inequality that is portrayed in the epics as both natural and laudable.<br>I will also argue that this systemic pattern of inequality can be understood as equivalent to the Homeric concept of homophrosyne (“like-mindedness”), a term which, despite its appearance of equality, in fact refers to a persistent inequality. Accordingly, for a Homeric relationship to be portrayed as successful, one partner must submit to the other, adapting themselves to the other’s outlook and aims, and subordinating their own ideals and desires. Through this, they are able to become “like-minded” with their partners, achieving something like the homophrosyne recommended for husbands and wives in the Odyssey.

Few works have created such memorable characters as the Iliad and Odyssey. Readers come away from these works with the impression that the characters described in the stories are larger than life: Achilles is strong, Ajax is enormous, Patroclus is bloodthirsty, Nestor is ancient, Stentor is loud. Nobody leaves Homer’s epics thinking his heroes are not worthy of their lasting fame. This study argues that, although the heroes of the two Homeric epics are meant to be impressive, their characterization in the Iliad and Odyssey is the result of a process of rationalization whereby the hyperbole traditionally ascribed to such figures was toned down when the two poems were finally committed to writing. I argue this by showing that the hyperbole used to describe these heroes is paralleled across many Indo-European epic traditions and that, for the most part, it is much more exaggerated in these related epics. From the scant remains of the Epic Cycle, there is reason to believe that the context in which Homeric poetry was formed was receptive to the fantastic. The best explanation of these two pieces of data is that the Iliad and the Odyssey rationalize traditional hyperbole. This was done so that the poems would have a broader appeal and greater clarity, vividness, and simplicity, traits which have long been considered hallmarks of Homer’s style.

Este trabalho surge da preocupação que tem adquirido a acelerada dinâmica de mercantilização das economias a nível internacional neste século XXI, mediante a aplicação de reformas econômicas, políticas e sociais que favorecem a abertura da economia e das instituições públicas ao setor privado, em detrimento dos direitos sociais e da qualidade de vida da maioria da população mundial. No caso da educação, este processo de descentralização para o mercado é evidenciado por vários autores (BALL, 2008; HILL, 2003; ROBERTSON, VERGER, 2012; PERONI, OLIVEIRA, FERNANDES, 2009; KRAWCZYK, 2005, entre outros), assim como as graves consequências de grande exclusão social, de inequidade, de homogeneização e empobrecimento da educação (ver ROBERTSON; VERGER, 2012), e da submissão internacional a uma ideologia hegemónica: a lógica neoliberal do lucro, da competitividade, da individualidade, da liberdade de seleção, e da supremacia do mercado sobre o social. A administração e organização, das práticas educacionais estão reconfigurando-se sob esses eixos neoliberais. Neste trabalho se estuda esse processo neoliberal na educação, analisando a experiência do México, que nos anos noventa principalmente, inicia com políticas de descentralização educacional e de gestão de qualidade nas escolas, promovidas por grandes organismos internacionais, que levaram à promulgação e implementação de grandes reformas nos decênios seguintes. A última grande mudança constitucional, conhecida como a Reforma Educativa 2013, é nosso objeto de estudo. Partindo do princípio da totalidade da teoria marxista, pretende-se compreender a articulação do movimento capitalista do século XXI a nível internacional, com as mudanças econômicas da economia mexicana (a reforma laboral) e por sua vez, destas com a educação. Retomando a Marx (1977), parte-se da tese de que as relações sociais de produção condicionam as práticas sociais (à educação), assim como a consciência dos homens. Desde a perspectiva marxista a educação é vista nesta pesquisa, como um processo histórico de produção e apropriação da cultura pelo homem (LEONTIEV, 1978; VIGOTSKI, 2004) que possibilita a formação do homem ciente e revolucionário, que contribui na sua emancipação para a construção de um sistema econômico mais justo (VIGOTSKI, 2015).<br>Este trabajo surge de la preocupación que ha adquirido la acelerada dinámica de mercantilización de las economías a nivel internacional en este siglo XXI, con la aplicación de reformas económicas, políticas y sociales, que favorecen la apertura de la economía y de las instituciones públicas al sector privado, en detrimento de los derechos sociales y de la calidad de vida de la mayoría de la población mundial.

Thesis: M. Arch., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, February, 2020<br>Cataloged from student-submitted thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 128-130).<br>Objects of Home re-imagines a home without walls, without roofs without doors, scattered throughout Rome - connected by patterns of use and coincidence. Immersed in a city that is not so anonymous to those who know it, these settlements upturn the tropes of the family and the private realm as the only site of intimate and fulfilling relationships. It seeks out the marginal, un-pretentious, hidden and symbolic spaces of the city and waits for the different imaginaries of often forgotten subjects to animate and re-form these anonymous spaces through their very difference. Focused on the homemaking practices of the urban street dwellers, five familiar home-making patterns are traced to reveal the inconspicuous relationships formed between public space and its inhabitants. These moments of encounter produce places of social renegotiation, contestation, and collaboration that reshape the margins of a public space and through their recurrence and begin to transform the territory beyond a single ephemeral interaction. Repeated behaviors become ritualized, familiar encounters become community, and private possessions, gifted to the street, begin to organize new territories of individual personality. In the old but unrecognized processes of homemaking within the roman city, the body and living space become mutually constitutive - coexisting within the boundaries of private and public property.<br>by Jaya Alba Crowley Eyzaguirre.<br>M.

Across Scotland, there is a lack of research in care homes. This thesis explores this topic by examining links between inclusion, participation in general and participation in research and whether those who work and live in the care home environment experience social citizenship. Using a national survey and interviews with residents, staff, relatives and experts in care home research, this thesis investigated whether participation generally was linked to participation in research for residents, staff and visitors in a care home setting. The thesis further explored how social citizenship functions in a care home environment and whether there is a link between participation and citizenship. The findings suggest there is a lack of general participation which is connected with the leadership style and management within the care homes. There is misunderstanding about research and legislation amongst the care home staff, residents, visitors, as well as the junior research staff which inhibited staff and resident participation. Furthermore, citizenship is not experienced universally by residents or staff due to disempowerment, and exclusion occurs amongst residents due to age, frailty and dementia. By facilitating good leadership, communication and relationship-building such issues may be overcome. In addition, the analysis suggests a link is evident between inclusion, participation and citizenship. Where choice is provided and residents have their social position maintained, as well as have a degree of responsibility for shaping events, this leads to participation and inclusivity as described in Bartlett and O’Connor’s (2010) definition of social citizenship. Furthermore, if inclusion is adapted for cognition and frailty, then participation leads to the experience of social citizenship, encouraging a culture which can welcome research. The explicit emphasis on inclusion and participation in research has enabled this under-researched area of participation and experience of social citizenship in care homes to be more fully explored.

The purpose of this study was to describe the home literacy environments and literacy experiences of a select group of Asian American children, and to recommend an intervention program based on the findings. The target population was the families which sent their children to a Saturday Asian language and culture school while sending them to public schools during the week, because of their expressed interest in literacy and the probability of their being the group to most likely benefit from intervention. The Home Literacy Environment and Literacy Experiences survey was initially sent out and results tallied and quantified. Upon placing the returned surveys into groups of "high," "middle," and "low" home literacy environment and literacy experiences, a sample of five "high" and five "low" families was selected for further study. Home visits, interviews, field notes, collection of artifacts and other methods of data collection provided a clearer picture of the state of the home literacy environment and literacy experiences of the families studied. Families rated as having "high" home literacy environment and experiences were found to have a larger number of literacy-related materials and higher frequency of literacy-related activities. Bilingualism and education were perceived as being important. The families also exhibited a strong interest in music and music lessons. Parents expressed a desire for two two-hour training sessions which would be held at the Saturday school location while their child attended classes there. It would be ideally held in the native language of the parents by a speaker from the native country. The parents preferred workshops with actual practice and examples which could be seen, accompanied by reading materials. Topics in which parents expressed interest include, in descending order: (a) 'selection of books for and with their child, (b) how to encourage their child to read, (c) how to discuss stories with their child, and (d) how to read aloud to their child.

This cross platform mobile application can help students in this task. This mobile application will serve as platform for students and home owners to find, list and review a property. Users can create their personal account and manage their profile and properties they listed. They can post multiple property listings with the key details and these listings will be visible to all the other users. To avoid spam and repetitive postings there is an address verification system in place. While posting a property listing the address is verified with Google maps database. If Google maps fail to identify the address or if that address is already listed, the user will not be allowed to list that property. Users can see all the property listings and their details including a Google map location image, a link to navigate to the address, contact details of the owner, reviews of other users. Users can rate a property from 1(low) to 5(high) along with an optional review. The review and rating can help other user to select a desired place to live. The user interface is developed with web technologies and using Cordova the same code can be used to convert it into a mobile application for both iOS and Android which makes this application platform independent and easily available.

A Ilíada de Homero é geralmente caracterizada como um poema que trata da Guerra de Tróia, que teria acontecido mais de 500 anos antes da composição de tal poema, e teria sido transmitido através da tradição oral, até o momento em que foi escrito pela primeira vez. Esperava-se, portanto, que os fatos narrados pelo poeta correspondessem aos achados arqueológicos encontrados para o Período Micênico, mas o que se encontra na Ilíada é uma mistura de elementos da sociedade micênica e da sociedade contemporânea a Homero, ou seja, o século VIII a.C. O estudo da relação entre documentos arqueológicos dos períodos Micênico, Proto-Geométrico e Geométrico, compreendidos entre 1550 e o final do século VIII a.C., e a Ilíada de Homero é composto por duas categorias de fontes distintas, a arqueológica e a escrita, esta como resultado de uma tradição oral que a precedeu. A presente dissertação tem como foco apresentar as informações que se podem depreender da Ilíada de Homero que, de alguma forma, contribuíram para a interpretação arqueológica e se, de tal confronto, surgiram controvérsias entre os dois tipos de fontes, levando a uma reflexão sobre a questão da continuidade e da ruptura de elementos culturais próprios da Civilização Micênica e que, de certa maneira, se refletem nos períodos posteriores em pauta.<br>The Iliad of Homer is generally seen as a poem about the Trojan War, which took place more than 500 years before the composition of such poem, and transmitted by oral tradition down to the moment it was written for the first time. It was hoped, therefore, that the facts narrated by its poet matched the archaeological finds for the Mycenaean Period; instead what is found in the Iliad is an ensemble of the elements of the Mycenaean society and the one contemporary to Homer, which is considered to be the eighth century B.C. The study of the relation between the Mycenaean, Proto-Geometrical, and Geometrical archaeological finds, dating from 1550 to the end of the eighth century B.C., and the Iliad of Homer is based on two different categories of sources, namely the archaeological and the literary ones, the last one being the result of an oral tradition which had preceded it. The present dissertation focuses on showing the information that can be derived from the Iliad of Homer that somehow has contributed to the archaeological interpretation and whether controversies were raised between those two kinds of sources from such a comparison, leading to a reflection about the question of either continuity or rupture of the cultural elements proper to the Mycenaean Civilization and that, in a certain way, are reflected on the later periods concerned.

This novel offers its reader an opportunity of coming back to Greece, now having Penelope as a protagonist and narrator, opening the possibilities of representing this figure of classical myhtology beyond Homer s representations. According to Homer s narrative, in tune with patriarchal understanding of gender relations, women, specially Greek women, should become mothers and remain inside the gineceu, what his Penelope did. However, in the reconstruction and rereading of this epic text presented by Atwood, Penelope invites us to look through the brumes of the past in order to listen to possibly different arrangements about the story of her life. It is in this context that our work intends to present and discuss Atwood s Penelope, recognizing other possibilities of retelling this classic text, deconstructing Homer s view at different points and aspects. Thus, by examining the brackets, the intersticial spaces of the homeric narrative, Atwood reconstructs the character and the myth, enabling her Penelope to speak about everything that was silenced in the homeric text, revealing her view, opinion and explanation about those events.<br>O presente trabalho analisa The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus (2005), da autora canadense Margaret Atwood, traduzida para a língua portuguesa, como A Odisséia de Penélope (2005), narrativa caracterizada como recriação do mito homérico. Tal romance proporciona ao leitor um retorno à Grécia antiga, agora com Penélope como protagonista e narradora, abrindo o leque de representações desta figura da mitologia clássica para além da criação de Homero. De acordo com a narrativa homérica, afinada com a construção de um masculino bastante fortalecido à época, a mulher, especialmente a grega, caberia a maternidade e o enclausuramento no gineceu, atividades cumpridas à risca por Penélope, o que reconhecemos na personagem homérica. Porém, na reconstrução e releitura da épica desenvolvida por Atwood, Penélope convida-nos a espiar por entre as névoas de seu passado para ouvirmos a orquestração das falas de toda a sua vida. É nesse contexto que este trabalho pretende apresentar a Penélope de Atwood, reconhecendo uma outra possibilidade criada por esta autora canadense de contar a história clássica, desconstruindo a versão apresentada por Homero em diversos momentos. Portanto, examinando, pois, as lacunas ou espaços intersticiais da narrativa homérica, Atwood reconstrói a personagem, ou o mito, concedendo a sua protagonista o direito de se pronunciar sobre o que no texto original passará em silêncio, revelando seu olhar, sua opinião e suas explicações sobre o desenrolar dos fatos.

El origen y significado de la inspiración poética” ha sido siempre objeto de considerable controversia. Lo que los críticos no preguntan muy a menudo es: ¿cuáles son las palabras o frases que los textos poéticos tempranos, previos al Período Clásico, usaron para expresar el genio poético o mousikē que nosotros asociamos con la inspiración en la poesía griega temprana? En este ensayo examino, en primer lugar y principalmente, tanto la terminología empleada por Homero y Hesíodo para expresar la experiencia poética, como el rol del aoidoso cantor/poeta en sus descripciones respectivas. Sostengo no solo que se confunden en Homero y Hesíodo las nociones físicas y figurativas de inspiración”, es decir, que no son diferenciadas por los poetas de manera consciente, sino que la poesía misma debe haber sido vista por Homero y Hesíodo como un don divino –de acuerdo a la voluntad de los dioses–. También sostengo que diversas etimologías y contextos sugieren fuertemente que un tipo de mania o posesión extática fue una parte importante del proceso poético temprano. El trabajo aquí presentado es una versión abreviada de un proyecto de investigación más amplio que busca examinar el origen y desarrollo de las actitudes pre-platónicas, platónicas y post-platónicas hacia la inspiración y la alegoría. --- Some Reflections on the Early Greek Notion of Poetic Inspiration”. The origin and meaning of poetic inspiration” has always been the subject of considerable controversy. What critics rarely ask are: what words or phrases did the early poetic texts use to express the poetic genius or mousikē we associate with inspiration in the early Greek poetry, and thus prior to the Classical period? In this paper, I examine first and foremost both the terminology employed by Homer and Hesiod to express the poetic experience and the role of the aoidos or singer/poet in their respective accounts. I argue that not only are the physical and figurative notions of inspiration” in Homer and Hesiod confused, that is, they are not consciously distinguished for the poets, but poetry itself for Homer and Hesiod must have been seen as a divine gift –as willed by the gods. I also argue that a number of etymologies and contexts strongly suggest that a type of mania or ecstatic possession was very much a part of the early poetic process. The work presented here is an abridged part of a larger research project that seeks to examine the origin and development of pre-Platonic, Platonic and postPlatonic attitudes toward inspiration and allegory.

This thesis raises and explores questions concerning the popularity of the Homeric poems in ancient Greece. It asks why the Iliad and Odyssey held such continuing appeal among the Greeks of the Archaic and Classical age. Cultural products such as poetry cannot be separated from the sociopolitical conditions in which and for which they were originally composed and received. Working on the basis that the extent of Homer’s appeal was inspired and sustained by the peculiar and determining historical circumstances, I set out to explore the relation of the social, political and ethical conditions and values of Archaic and Classical Greece to those portrayed in the Homeric poems. The Greeks, at the time during which Homer was composing his poems, had begun to establish a new form of social organisation: the polis. By examining historical, literary and philosophical texts from the Archaic and Classical age, I explore the manner in which Greek society attempted to reorganise and reconstitute itself in a different way, developing original modes of social and political activity which the new needs and goals of their new social reality demanded. I then turn to examine Homer’s treatment of and response to this social context, and explore the various ways in which Homer was able to reinterpret and reinvent the inherited stories of adventure and warfare in order to compose poetry that not only looks back to the highly centralised and bureaucratic society of the Mycenaean world, but also looks forward, insistently so, to the urban reality of the present. I argue that Homer’s conflation of a remembered mythical age with the contemporary conditions and values of Archaic and Classical Greece aroused in his audiences a new perception and understanding of human existence in the altered sociopolitical conditions of the polis and, in so doing, ultimately contributed to the development of new ideas on the manner in which the Greeks could best live together in their new social world.
