The ethics of revenge and the meanings of the Odyssey /

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.
