Inhoudsopgave:
- <p>This essay develops a theoretical framework for reading Homeric epic, archaic lyric, and inscribed/epigrammatic poetry through the concept of <strong>perceptual misalignment</strong>. It argues that presence in archaic Greek poetics is not simply immediate or self-evident, but becomes available through a <strong>field of access</strong>: a structured network of voices, bodies, gestures, objects, places, divine forces, inscriptions, and memories.</p> <p>Perceptual misalignment occurs when an index of presence — such as an “I,” a “here,” a voice, a body, or a speaking object — remains active without fully coinciding with its source, support, occasion, or scene of reception.</p> <p>The essay traces this dynamic across three domains: Homeric epic distributes perception across gods, bodies, public speech, and heroic action; lyric poetry, especially Sappho 31, concentrates this distributed field within the vulnerable body of the speaking “I”; inscription and epigram relocate presence onto objects, places, and durable supports, as in Nestor’s Cup and the Midas epigram.</p> <p>Its central claim is that archaic Greek poetics does not treat perception as possession, but as mediated access to presence.</p>
