Wind and time in Homeric epic

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between wind, narrative, and time in Homer. It begins by considering Fränkel's observation that weather rarely occurs outside the similes in the Iliad, and goes on to show that wind plays a subtle but fundamental role in shaping the narratives of both the Iliad and the Odyssey. © 2010 by the American Philological Association.
