In the last fifty years major developments have taken place, both
in the field of Homeric studies and in the rest of early Greek
epic. These developments have not only created a more solid basis
for studying the Homeric epics, but they have also broadened our
horizons with respect to the place of Homeric poetry within a
larger cultural milieu. The impressive advances in Hesiodic
studies, the more systematic approach to the Epic Cycle, the more
nuanced use and re-evaluation of dominant twentieth-century
theories like Neoanalysis and Oral Theory, the study of other
fragmentary Greek epic, the cognitive turn, narratology, the
performance of epic poetry in the ancient and modern world, the
fruitful utilization of Indo-European material, and the widely
accepted recognition of the close relation between Homer and the
mythology and literature of the ancient Near East have virtually
shaped anew the way we read and understand Homer, Hesiod, and early
Greek epic. The studies collected in this volume are informed by
most of the aforementioned sub-fields and span four research areas:
(i) Homer; (ii) Hesiod; (iii) the Epic Cycle; (d) the performance
of epic.
