    This wide-ranging collection makes available to specialists and nonspecialists alike important critical work on the Odyssey produced during the last half century. The ten essays address five major concerns: the poem's programmatic representation of social and religious institutions and values; its transformation of folktales and traditional stories into epic adventures; its representation of gender roles and, in particular, of Penelope; its narrative strategies and form; and its relation to the Iliad, especially to that epic's distinctive conception of heroism. In the introduction, Seth L. Schein describes the poetic background to the work and suggests a variety of interpretive approaches, some of which are developed in the essays that follow. These essays include previously published work by Jean-Pierre Vernant, Pierre Vidal-Naquet, Pietro Pucci, and Charles P. Segal. There also are a new essay by Laura M. Slatkin, two revised and expanded ones by Nancy Felson-Rubin and Michael N. Nagler, and three appearing in English for the first time by Uvo Hlscher, Karl Reinhardt, and Vernant. The result is a collection that juxtaposes older, often hard-to-find articles with significant newer pieces in a way that allows for a fruitful dialogue among them

    In Ezekiel 27, the city of Tyre is depicted as a beautiful ship whose success in trade is the very cause of its demise. As a seafaring vessel, Tyre is laden with goods from the surrounding nations with whom it trades. But a heavy ship in a storm can sink. In Ezekiel 27, weightiness-“glory” ( כבוד )-turns to excess weight, and it is precisely this weightiness that brings about Tyre’s failure on the sea. The presentation of Tyre’s demise is heightened by a preceding praise of its glory. This glory is the city’s beauty, systematically described from end to end, as perfect bodies are in biblical and ancient Near Eastern literature. Ezekiel 27 is thus animated by two simultaneous metaphors: the city as a ship, whose weight determines its viability on the sea, and the city as a body, whose interaction with others determines its success in the world but whose corporeal boundaries must be maintained for health.
