Samenvatting
In Blemished Kings, Andrea Kouklanakis looks to Irish satire as she interprets the language of the suitors in the Odyssey—their fighting words—as Homeric expressions of reproach and critique against unsuitable kings, and provides evidence for the concept that blame poetry can physically blemish, hence disqualify, rulers.
