Thalassic Lessons: Pedagogical aesthetics and the Mediterranean

John Baldacchino

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    With some trepidation the poets plead to their sea. Their only hope is that the sea—the thalassa—offers a lesson. This expectation exudes a sense of liturgy and sacrifice. Not unlike a presbyter, the poet’s ritual seeks to mediate the world with the myriad singular experiences that make it.
