How Many Repeated Lines Would There Be in Homer Sevenfold
How the Shroud for Laertes became the robe of Odysseus
This paper builds an argument against R. D. Dawe, who believes that one of the most famous of all stories is inauthentic and badly told. In his notes on ‘When she showed the robe, after weaving the great web, washing it so that it looked like the sun or moon, then it was that an evil spirit brought Odysseus from somewhere’, Dawe remarks that the web story ‘hardly belongs’ in the Odyssey , and asks: ‘Why “showed”? And to whom? Why the otiose addit…
The Furies in Choe. and Ag
This note argues that two passages are worthier of the dramatist if the audience has seen the furies than if it has not. Orestes sees the furies ( Choe. 1048–50, 1053–4, 1057–8); the chorus (1051–2, 1055–6,1059–60) does not see them. Does the audience see them? K. O. Müller, on philosophical and antiquarian grounds, thought so. Nearly all scholars today believe not. I agree with Miiller from what Orestes now says to the chorus: ὑμεῖς μν οὐφ ρτε τ…
Doors and Perspective in Choe
There is evidently no skene in the early plays of Aeschylus and the locale changes easily. But in the Oresteia (and afterwards) a skene fixes the locale, though only for what happens on the stage. In Ag. it represents an outer wall. In Choe. it is not at first in the arena of action and so not in the path of vision, but it represents the wall by 584 when Electra enters the house, or at least by 653 when Orestes shouts to a doorkeeper. In Eum. 1–2…

Nature and Culture in the Iliad
The Song of Roland
The Making of Homeric Verse
This book collects together the major published works, as well as some previously unpublished items, by Parry, who remains a major figure in Homeric studies. His work, which had been edited by his son, connected disparate contentions and observations made by preceding scholars on the Homeric question (as to who composed the poems, for example, and how they were composed). In formulating a consistent picture of what Homeric poetry was and what the…

Blind Thamyris and Blind Maeonides
VWHEN THAMYRIS boasted that he would surpass them in competition (II. 2.594ff), the Muses maimed him (rnpobvO&rav), took away his wondrous song (aov OEabi eraflyv &4p Xovro), and caused him to forget his lyrecraft (EKXCXaOov KLOapLarbv). The moral is commonplace and the punishment condign, as in the legend of Niobe recounted by Achilles (1. 24.605ff), but certain details are nevertheless indistinct. The forgetfulness may mean that Thamyris could …
