ISBN: 9780190909673 出版年：2019 页码：281 Loney, Alexander C Oxford University Press

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.
