Mere mention of the dreaded "Inquisition" brings up rancor and ridicule on the one hand and knee-jerk shame (or sometimes triumphalism) on the part of Catholics on the other. The fact is that most people do not know what the "I...

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 kho...
