In Sanctified Violence in Homeric Society, Margo Kitts focuses on
oath-making narratives found in the Iliad through which she
articulates a theory of ritualized violence. She analyzes ritual
paradigms, metaphors, fictions, and poetic registers as oath-making
principles, which she then traces through Homeric references and
texts from the ancient New East. Discussing ritual features that
are common to acts of religious violence throughout the world,
Kitts makes use of the theory of ritual performance as
communication.
