Boban Dedović - The Evolution of Mind Words in the Iliad and the Odyssey

Post by Moderator »

Marcel Kuijsten talks with Boban Dedović, a masters degree student of ancient languages at the University of Chicago, on his recent article "‘Minds’ in ‘Homer’: A quantitative psycholinguistic comparison of the Iliad and Odyssey," and the evidence for the evolution of mind words in the Iliad and Odyssey. The interview is followed by Q&A with the event participants.

The interview includes discussion of the authorship and dating of the Iliad and Odyssey; later additions to the Iliad; an explanation of Jaynes's preconscious hypostases and how they relate to dating the development of consciousness; the acknowledgement of Jaynes's work in this area by other scholars, the research methods; results, and conclusions of Boban's linguistic analysis of the Iliad and the Odyssey; and much more.
