AB  - "The Limits of Heroism: Homer and the Ethics of Reading examines the difficulty and danger of human desire in both the Iliad and the Odyssey, as it explores the uncertainty of decision making and the relationship of desire to heroic ideology." "The Limits of Heroism applies current theoretical work on desire and ideology-critique as it investigates well-known scholarly problems: the problem of the self and human identity, the cohesiveness of heroic ideology, and the possibility of an internal critique of ideology. Scholars and readers of Homer, as well as those interested in the problem of desire, will find The Limits of Heroism an illuminating study of the Iliad and the Odyssey, two vital texts in classical studies."--Jacket.
