      abstract = {No previous work has thoroughly analyzed nonverbal  behavior in Homeric epic. Gesture and posture, conscious  and unconscious manipulation of space and time, and  involuntary "leakage" such as twitching and shivering can  intensify and underline - or contradict and ironize - the  speech of characters and hexameter narrative. Lateiner  explores how the Homeric poems frequently and consistently  employ gesture, posture, and vocalics to convey situation  and meaning, sometimes instead of speech or instrumental  action, sometimes in addition to those signals of meaning.  Sardonic Smile has been written for a broad audience  including classicists, cultural historians,  anthropologists, semioticians, and students of comparative  literature. A general introduction to gesture in life and  literature, translated Greek, and a glossary of terms make  the volume accessible to student and scholar alike.},
