In Blemished Kings, Andrea Kouklanakis looks to Irish satire as she interprets the language of the suitors in the Odysseyâ€"their fighting wordsâ€"as Homeric expressions of reproach and critique against unsuitable kings, and provides evidence for the concept that blame poetry can physically blemish, hence disqualify, rulers.
