When a Gesture Was Expected: A Selection of Examples from Archaic and Classical Greek Literature
Alan L. Boegehold
Aims to encourage a deeper appreciation of ancient Greek poetry and prose by showing where a nod of the head or a wave of the hand can complete meaning in epic poetry and in tragedy, comedy, oratory, and in works of history and philosophy. This book helps to explain some persistently confusing syntaxes and to make translations more accurate.
