"The vividness of Homeric poetry has been admired since antiquity, but has been difficult to pin down with\r\nprecision. It is usually thought to come about because readers are prompted to visualize the storyworld in the form of\r\nmental images seen with the mind’s eye. But this cannot be right, both because there are serious scientific problems\r\nwith the concept of ‘pictures in the head’ and because Homer does not offer many detailed descriptions, which are a\r\nprerequisite for eliciting detailed mental images. This article presents a different, and cognitively more realistic, take\r\non the imageability of Homeric epic, which is based on recent reader-response studies inspired by the enactivist theory\r\nof cognition. These studies make a compelling case for readerly visualization as an embodied response, which does not\r\ndepend on bright or detailed mental images. An analysis of the chariot race in Iliad 23 identifies specific features of\r\nwhat may be called an ‘enactive style’, notably the description of simple bodily actions. The final part of the article\r\ndemonstrates that an enactivist take on Homer’s vividness is not incompatible with the ancient concept of enargeia, the\r\nchief rhetorical term with which Homer’s vividness is characterized in ancient criticism."^^ .
