OP >What the heck are epexegeses, please? Epic exegeses?
hey j, that's not too bad a guess, hear? actually, epexegesis is one of my favorite wwftds....
you know that an exegeis is an explanation, an exposition, a gloss; well the ep- is just a Greek afix which adds in addition, the addition of a word or words to convey more clearly the meaning implied. but be careful, because this could take on the characteristics of pleonasm and redundancy.
