Description
This book aims to provide the reader of Homer with the traditional knowledge and fluency in Homeric poetry which an original ancient audience would have brought to a performance of this type of narrative.
To that end, Adrian Kelly presents the text of Iliad VIII next to an apparatus referring to the traditional units being employed, and gives a brief description of their semantic impact.
He describes the referential curve of the narrative in a continuouscommentary, tabulates all the traditional units in a separate lexicon of Homeric structure, and examines critical decisions concerning the text in a discussion which employs the referential method as a critical criterion.
Two small appendices deal with speech introduction formulae, and with the traditionalfunction of Here and Athene in early Greek epic poetry.
