The formation of the Epic Cycle
The question of how the Epic Cycle was formed may be treated as a threefold one. Firstly, at what stage of the epic tradition did poems covering those areas of mythology first appear? Secondly, when and by what stages did a sense develop that a sequence of such poems, taken together, told a continuous story, so that if there was a gap a new poem might be composed to fill it? Thirdly, when and how did an Epic Cycle come to be formally recognized a…

Indo-European Poetry and Myth
The Indo-Europeans — speakers of the prehistoric parent language from which most European and some Asiatic languages are descended — most probably lived on the Eurasian steppes some five or six thousand years ago. This book investigates their traditional mythologies, religions, and poetries, and points to elements of common heritage. In The East Face of Helicon (1997), the author of this present work showed the extent to which Homeric and other e…

The Transmission of Greek Music
O presente trabalho investiga como a música grega foi transmitida de uma geração a outra. Uma pequena parte da transmissão escrita está documentada, mas é evidente que os textos dramáticos e líricos eram copiados normalmente sem notação musical, e para autores anteriores a Eurípides as partituras podem nunca ter existido. O conhecimento que os musicólogos têm da música antiga deve ter-se embasado na tradição performática existente entre amadores …

Tryphon De Tropis
The work with which I am concerned is not the one that appears under the name of Tryphon in Rhetores Graeci , viii. 726–60 Walz, iii. 191–206 Spengel, but the one that appears under the name of Gregory of Corinth, viii. 761–78 W. and iii. 215–26 Sp. What I now offer amounts to a makeshift edition. I call it makeshift, because I have not sought out and assessed all existing manuscripts of the work, or versed myself in Greek grammatical writing to …
