Homer’s Traditional Art
In recent decades, the evidence for an oral epic tradition in ancient Greece has grown enormously along with our ever-increasing awareness of worldwide oral traditions. John Foley here examines the artistic implications that oral tradition holds for the understanding of the Iliad and Odyssey in order to establish a context for their original performance and modern-day reception.In Homer's Traditional Art, Foley addresses three crucially interlock…
The Greek Epic Cycle and its Ancient Reception
The poems of the Epic Cycle are assumed to be the reworking of myths and narratives which had their roots in an oral tradition predating that of many of the myths and narratives which took their present form in the Iliad and the Odyssey. The remains of these texts allow us to investigate diachronic aspects of epic diction as well as the extent of variation within it on the part of individual authors - two of the most important questions in modern…
South Slavic Oral Epic and the Homeric Question
Este artículo analiza algunos de los aspectos más controvertidos de la teoría “oral formulaica” desarrollada por Parry y Lord a partir de la consideración del carácter oral del verso homérico y de la comparación de éste con la épica viva en la tradición oral de la ex-Yugoslavia. El autor propone y explica, para detallar y hacer más exactas y útiles las analogías de la teoría original, tres máximas que contienen ideas fundamentales sobre la tradic…
Challenges in Comparative Oral Epic
In this paper we propose to examine some fundamental issues in comparative oral epic. Our investigation will proceed across four epic traditions widely separated in space and time. Two of them, the Mongolian and South Slavic epic, are or were recently still living and therefore observable by fieldworkers. The other two, the ancient Greek and Old English epic traditions, are preserved only in manuscript form. Although no comparative treatment can …

Oral Tradition and its Implications
This chapter focuses on the modern rediscovery of ancient Greek oral tradition and its implications for the study of Homeric epic. It concerns not only with the demonstration of the poems' oral traditional nature, an interesting and important phenomenon in itself, but more fundamentally with the question 'So what?' If Homeric verse emerges from an unwritten art of poetry and is committed to text only quite late in its development, how does this c…

Homer’s Traditional Art
In Homer's Traditional Art, Foley addresses three crucially interlocking areas that lead us to a fuller appreciation of the Homeric poems. He first explores the reality of Homer as their actual author, examining historical and comparative evidence to propose that "Homer" is a legendary and anthropomorphic figure rather than a real-life author. He next presents the poetic tradition as a specialized and highly resonant language bristling with idiom…

Word-Power, Performance, and Tradition
Oral-Formulaic Theory and Performance-centered approaches (Ethnography of Speaking, Ethnopoetics) share a fundamental concern with the untextuality of traditional oral narrative. The present article seeks to explore that common territory by illustrating how performance serves as the enabling event, and tradition as the enabling referent, for the enactment and reception of verbal art. Examples are drawn chiefly from Serbo-Croatian Moslem epic and …

The Wedding of Smailagić Meho
In researching this collection, Milman Parry set out to test the theories he had evolved on oral epic, theories that were to introduce a new era of Homeric scholarship. In the Balkans, one of the few areas where a living tradition of oral heroic poetry was still to be found, he observed firsthand how unlettered singers composed their poems, and collected more than 1200 hours of poetic performance from the most experienced bards. Comprising repres…
