Circe de clásicos y modernos

Abstract

MARINONI, Betiana Paola. The Possibility of Choosing and the Commitment to Tradition: Determining Devices of Narrative Modality in the Iliad. Circe clás. mod. [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.2, pp.95-109. ISSN 1851-1724.

This work aims to assess the two main ways displayed through the Iliad for possibly altering the traditional tale: the so called reversal passages and certain persuasive direct discourses. Although at different narrative levels, both composing devices display an implicit consideration about the range of choices available for the primary narrator, as a singer, as well as for the characters, mortals or gods, as narrative agents. For comparing both devices, we make use of four concepts belonging to narratological theory: focalization, narrative level, type and function.

Keywords : Iliad; Narratology; Focalization; Reversal passages.
