Middles and Prophecy in the Odyssey

Middles and Prophecy in the Odyssey In this essay I look at the uses of the middle in the Odyssey by foregrounding the prophecy about the fate of the Phaeacians in its double manifestation in the poem, its report in Book 8 and its fulfillment in Book 13. I argue that this prophecy shows that the middle in the Odyssey can be either fixed or fluctuating, depending on how we interpret the end of the relevant section. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Yearbook of Ancient Greek Epic Brill

Abstract

In this essay I look at the uses of the middle in the Odyssey by foregrounding the prophecy about the fate of the Phaeacians in its double manifestation in the poem, its report in Book 8 and its fulfillment in Book 13. I argue that this prophecy shows that the middle in the Odyssey can be either fixed or fluctuating, depending on how we interpret the end of the relevant section.
