The Homeric Doctrine Of Sin, It's Expiation And Its Penalty

By W. S. Tyler

Book Overview

""The Homeric Doctrine of Sin, Its Expiation and Its Penalty"" is a scholarly work by W.S. Tyler that explores the concept of sin in Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Tyler examines the various types of sins committed by characters in the poems and the ways in which they are expiated, or atoned for. He also delves into the penalties that are imposed upon those who commit sins, including the wrath of the gods and the consequences that befall them in life and in death. Tyler's analysis sheds light on the moral and ethical framework of the Homeric world and provides insight into the values and beliefs of ancient Greek society. This book is an important resource for scholars of classical literature and anyone interested in the history of ethics and morality.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Theology of the Greek Poets, by W.
