41 Though an idiom from Aeschylus’ Choephore (“my heart feeds [βόσκεται] on lamentation” 26) presents grieving as a form of consumption too, a model more closely akin to images for anger discussed later here.

42 This passage presents an inarticulate, physiologically expressive version of goos that is altogether ignored in the scholarly literature, especially studies that focus exclusively on lament as a discursive practice (the most comprehensive study of Homeric goos to date defines it as a “personal lament speech” [Tsagalis (2004) 21]). Such an approach inevitably ignores the somatic valence of grief terms, and unduly narrows their scope. It is clear in the passage above, which uses standard grief terminology, including goos, that Achilles and Priam are weeping together – not performing lament speeches before one another (cf. also Od. 4.102–3, discussed later).
