Description de l'éditeur
This book aims to provide the reader of Homerwith the traditional knowledge and fluency in Homeric poetry which an originalancient 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 apparatusreferring to the traditional units being employed, and gives a briefdescription of their semantic impact. He describes the referential curve of thenarrative in a continuous commentary, tabulates all the traditional units in aseparate lexicon of Homeric structure, and examines critical decisionsconcerning the text in a discussion which employs the referential method as acritical criterion. Two small appendices deal with speech introductionformulae, and with the traditional function of Here and Athene in early Greekepic poetry.
