Nerikos
The whereabouts of this ancient town is of interest in the Leukas-Ithaka controversy, but unfortunately there is little information on which to fix it. The data may be said to be one passage in the Odyssey and one in Thucydides. In the former, ω 377–8 , Laertes is wishing he were young again, οἷος Nρικον εἷλον υκτμενον πτολεΘρον, κτν ἠπεροιο, Kεφαλλνεσσιν νσσων
Fishing with a Rod in Homer
Hiatus in Homeric Verse
There is a division of opinion on this subject which is perplexing to the ordinary student of Homer. The extremists on one side hold that hiatus was all but absolutely barred, while the more thoroughgoing among their opponents believe it was freely tolerated. A notable paper by the eminent philologist, Karl Brugmann, Zur Geschichte der hiatischen (zweisilbigen) Vokalverbindungen in den indogermanischen Sprachen , in Berichte üb. d. Verhandlgn. d.…
The Scheria of the Odyssey
Two main views of the country called in the Odyssey the Land of the Phaeacians or Scheria are current among Homeric scholars. Some think it is, or is in, the island known to the ancients as Corcyra, and that the people who are described as living in it were ordinary flesh and blood mortals. The other view, the belief of the majority, though of great variety, is that Scheria is in fairyland or some other supramundane sphere, and a creation of the …
The Scheria of the Odyssey II
I Now turn to an examination of the grounds for arguing supernaturalism in the Phaeacian story, but for their proper appreciation it is necessary to consider an element in the narrative which unfortunately has had little attention of recent years. There is in it more than mere unseasoned description. The poet is evidently taking off these settlers in Scheria, the centre about which his humour plays being the figure of their king, Alkinoos. This i…
The Kingship of Agamemnon
What was Agamemnon's political position in Greece? Was he only king of Mycenae and territory adjoining it, or had he in addition a suzerainty over the rest of the Peloponnesus? Was he sovereign in the whole of the Peloponnesus? Did he exercise any supremacy over, and especially can he be described as king or emperor of, Mycenaean Greece and its islands? In regard to the expedition against Troy, did he command it by virtue of a dominion over the w…
Amyntor in the Doloneia
When Odysseus and Diomede are about to set out on their adventure in the tenth Iliad , Meriones lends the former a noble κυνέη , the workmanship of which is carefully described
The Homeric Augment Again
The Plvralis Maiestatis In Homer
In his new edition of II. i.-xii. Prof, van Leeuwen takes áμóv in Z 414, ή τoι γàρ φατέῤ άμòν άφέκτανε δîoς ‘ΑΧιλλεὐς, as = nostrum , i.e. meum et meorum fratrum , adding that the plural used for the singular is alien to epic practice. He refers to A 30, B 486, T 440, H 196, © 360, K 448, N 257, O 224, II 244, Σ 197, T 402, φ;60, 432, ψ84, 413, α 10, β 77 sq., K 99, 334, 525, λ 33, 166, 481, v 358, π300, 442, σ 247, ψ139. The point has often been…
Does the Odyssey imitate the Iliad
In Appendix II. to his edition of Odyssey , xiii.-xxiv., the late Dr. Monro examined the ‘ Relation of the Odyssey to the Iliad .’ One section of this Appendix, pp. 327 sqq., deals with ‘ passages of the Iliad borrowed or imitated in the Odyssey .’ It is there admitted that repetition is a characteristic of the epic style, and that in many cases of parallelism no detrimental inference can legitimately be drawn. But if, it is said, ‘ we are able t…
The Homeric Augment
The Uses of en in the Odyssean Books of the Iliad
One of the grounds for arguing that the books of the Iliad, I, K, Ψ, Ω, are late and Odyssean, is that there are found in them uses of certain prepositions, especially ⋯π⋯, ⋯ν, ⋯ξ, which appear in the Odyssey, but not, or only very rarely, in the other twenty books of the Iliad
The Odyssean Books of the Iliad
Dissecting criticism of Homer has proved to its own satisfaction that certain books of the Iliad are late, and have special affinity with the Odyssey . This Odyssean connexion is established by collecting verbal and metrical peculiarities and grammatical usages, which are found outside these parts of the Iliad only in what is held to be the later poem. The chief delinquents are I, K, Ψ and Ω but many would add the Apaté , Nestor's reminiscence in…
