Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of the mythological comparisons used in the Dionysiaca, a long epic poem composed by the Greek poet Nonnus sometime between the late 4th and early 5th century CE. The author examines the numerous comparisons Nonnus employs to illustrate the beauty, power, and exploits of his protagonist Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. These comparisons encompass a wide range of mythological figures, from well-known deities such as Zeus and Hera to more obscure characters like Komaitho and Atymnios. By meticulously examining each comparison, the author demonstrates how Nonnus skillfully draws upon both earlier Greek literature, particularly Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and oral traditions to create a rich tapestry of allusions and associations. The comparisons contribute not only to the vividness and beauty of the poetry but also to its thematic depth, delving into such topics as the nature of divinity, the power of love and beauty, and the complexities of human nature. Through the detailed analysis of Nonnus's use of mythological comparisons, this book provides valuable insights into the literary techniques and thematic concerns of late antique poetry, offering a fresh perspective on the enduring legacy of Greek mythology in the literary and cultural imagination.
