Articles liés à The Iliad: Commentary v4 Bk 13-16
Synopsis
This, the fourth volume in the six-volume Commentary on The Iliad being prepared under the General Editorship of Professor G. S. Kirk, covers Books 13-16, including the Battle for the Ships, the Deception of Zeus and the Death of Patroklos. Three introductory essays discuss the role of Homer's gods in his poetry; the origins and development of the epic diction; and the transmission of the text, from the bard's lips to our own manuscripts. It is now widely recognised that the first masterpiece of Western literature is an oral poem; Professor Janko's detailed commentary aims to show how this recognition can clarify many linguistic and textual problems, entailing a radical reassessment of the work of Homer's Alexandrian editors. The commentary also explores the poet's subtle creativity in adapting traditional materials, whether formulae, typical scenes, mythology or imagery, so as best to move, inspire and entertain his audience, ancient and modern alike. Discussion of the poem's literary qualities and structure is, where possible, kept separate from that of more technical matters.

Revue de presse
"...extraordinary new study of Books 13-16....Janko clearly knows the Iliad (and, indeed, all early Greek poetry) inside and out, and has one interesting and insightful thing after another to say about it. This is thus an extremely important book...." S. Douglas Olson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Discussion of the poem's literary qualities and structure is, where possible, kept separate from that of more technical matters. This is the fourth part of a six-volume commentary on Homer's "Iliad". It takes full account of this century's discoveries in oral poetry, archaeology and linguistics (including the decipherment of Mycenaean Greek) and aims to show how skilfully Homer adapts his traditional materials.
