More about the book

The evolution of Homeric poetry is explored through its transition from oral traditions to more fixed textual forms, culminating in the era of Aristarchus around 150 BC. This period marks a significant shift from fluidity in the transmission of the epics to a more rigid, definitive textualization, highlighting the complexities and historical context of how these foundational works were preserved and transformed over time.
