▼a This dissertation reconsiders the role of contrary-to-fact statements (contrafactuals, also known as counterfactuals or CTFs) in ancient Greek narrative. Applying the significance of CTFs in everyday life to the recent scientific hypothesis that our universe may actually be a holographic construct, I argue that CTF alternatives marked by recognizable structures ("hologrammar") definitively contribute to our perception of narratives as experiential constructs. As they invite narratees to become viewers and to see multiple narrative dimensions at once, CTFs create an immersive experience that connects alternative worlds and implies slippage between real and unreal situations.The chapters of this dissertation explore narratorial strategies of CTF experientiality pertaining to certain essential aspects of real and unreal relationships. First, Chapter 1 describes how alternative worlds such as those in Pindar's Pythian 3 challenge the assumed priority of apparent reality by blurring and overlapping ontological levels. Chapter 2, an analysis of Aeneas's "death" scenes in Homer's Iliad, examines the numerous layers of detail that emerge in complex illustrations of CTF focalization and space-time, recommending an "alter-narratology" that privileges its viewers. In Chapter 3, three very different alter-narratives demonstrate the far-reaching influence of contrafactual identity manipulation, which I refer to as a process of "refraction": Herodotus's Histories 1.191, an alternative view of Babylon's capture by Cyrus of Persia |
