Focusing on key themes like truth, knowledge, gender, and the heroic code, this book explores the performative values present in Homer's poetry, particularly in the Iliad and the Odyssey. It delves into concepts of authorship, memory, and the significance of diction and formula, arguing for a dynamic interpretation of these epic works rather than a fixed essence.
