The article focuses on the observations noted by Porphyry of Tyre in the first book of his Quaestiones Homericae on the relationship between simile and metaphor in Homer. The numerous examples taken from the Homeric poems show the derivation of metaphorical forms from previous similes, as well as the amplification of metaphors into successive similes, the interchangeability of language between the two members of a simile and its trespass into the narrative and vice versa.

Abstract
The article focuses on the observations noted by Porphyry of Tyre in the first book of his Quaestiones Homericae on the relationship between simile and metaphor in Homer. The numerous examples taken from the Homeric poems show the derivation of metaphorical forms from previous similes, as well as the amplification of metaphors into successive similes, the interchangeability of language between the two members of a simile and its trespass into the narrative and vice versa.File in questo prodotto:
