Anger is central to the Homeric epic, but few scholarly
interventions have probed HomerOs language beyond the study of the
IliadOs first word: menis. Yet Homer uses over a dozen words for
anger. Fighting Words and Feuding Words engages the powerful tools
of Homeric poetic analysis and the anthropological study of emotion
in an analysis of two anger terms highlighted in the Iliad by the
Achaean prophet Calchas. Walsh argues that kotos and kholos locate
two focal points for the study of aggression in Homeric poetry, the
first presenting HomerOs terms for feud and the second providing
the native terms that designates the martial violence highlighted
by the Homeric tradition. After focusing on these two terms as used
in the Iliad and the Odyssey, Walsh concludes by addressing some
post-Homeric and comparative implications of Homeric anger.
