What if truth were a woman?' asked Nietzsche. In ancient Greek thought, truth in language has a special relation to the female by virtue of her preeminent artformthe one Freud believed was even invented by womenweaving. The essays in this book explore the implications of this nexus: language, the female, weaving, and the construction of truth.The Homeric bardmale, to be sureinherits from IndoEuropean culture the designation of his poetry as a weaving, the female's art. Like her tapestries, his 'texts' can suspend, reverse, and reorder time. He can weave the content from one world into the interstices of another.The male poet shares the ambiguous power of the female Muses whose speech he channels. 'We can say false things like to real things, and whenever we wish, we can utter the truth.'
