“Enumeration or listing

“Homer was able to build (imagine) a closed form (of the world) because he had a clear idea of what an agricultural and warlike civilization was like in his time. The world he was talking about was not unknown to him, he knew its laws, causes and effects, that’s why he was able to shape it.

However, there is another form of artistic representation: that is, when one doesn’t know the physical limits of the things that one is trying to represent; when one doesn’t know how many things there are and one assumes there is a certain, perhaps infinite number of them (...) so one lists their properties.”
