secondary literature

Still working my way through the Homer references.  Oswald amplifies the scenes more later in the poem, going for greater poignancy and more vivid images.  I don't yet know if she skips any more deaths; I'll check that tomorrow.

Her treatment of Iphidamas and Coön, especially Coön, is particularly poignant; struck down as he's trying to drag his wounded (well, actually dead, but he's not thinking) brother out of the battle, calling out desperately for help, and he loses his own head.

I've put together a page with an initial list of secondary literature I mean to read as I revise the paper (in the sidebar).
