Kommentar (Sammlung wissenschaftlicher Commentare (SWC)) (German Edition)

This commentary on the 6th book of the Iliad concentrates on the interpretation of two episodes which have received a great deal of scholarly attention: the encounter between Diomedes and Glaukos, which surprisingly ends with an exchange of weapons and not a duel, and the series of scenes ´;Hector in Troy´, which reveal the hero´s conflicting roles as defender of the city and father of his family.
