Time, Tripods, Textiles, and Trees focuses on metaphorical and metonymical elements in the Odyssey to better understand the architecture of the epic and its causation. Aldo Bottino combines cognitive science and discourse studies with oral poetics frameworks developed by Parry-Lord and others to offer a new interpretation of Homeric metaphor.
Time, Tripods, Textiles, and Trees focuses on metaphorical and metonymical elements in key episodes and passages of the Odyssey to better understand the architecture of the epic and its causation. Beginning with an investigation of the trees gifted by Laertes to Odysseus and moving to the reunion of father and son in Book 24, Aldo Bottino combines cognitive science and discourse studies, along with oral poetics frameworks developed by Parry-Lord, Gregory Nagy, and Douglas Frame, to offer a new interpretation of the imaginative devices at the core of crucial episodes in Homer’s poem.

Aldo Bottino is Lecturer to the Faculty of the School of Art and Sciences at Brandeis University and was an Associate at the Center of Hellenic Studies at Harvard University.
