Research into traditional areas of Homeric scholarship (e.g.,
language, the structure of the text, etc.) has come a long way
since the last comprehensive commentaries on the Iliad were carried
out, that is, the commentary by Ameis-Hentze in German language in
the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century as well as the
Cambridge commentary by Kirk et. al. in English language in the
1980/90s. Much of this kind of research is now set upon a much
surer methodological and theoretical foundation. Developments in
the field of Mycenology and in the study of Linear B, oral poetry,
and the history of ancient Troy in particular, have made possible a
number of new insights and interpretive possibilities in Homer's
epic. Moreover, modern secondary literature of all major languages
has been systematically covered. The "Basel Commentary" to the
Iliad is a new, up-to-date, standard work that addresses these
issues directly and will be of interest to scholars, teachers, and
students alike. Central to the commentary on Iliad 24 is the
interpretation of one of the most exciting and most moving scenes
of the Iliad: how Priam, the king of Troy, makes his way to his
mortal enemy Achilles, by whose hand his son Hector had fallen; how
the god Hermes leads the old man almost magically into the army
camp of the Greeks; how Achilles, at the end of an emotional
encounter with Priam, leaves the body of Hector for burial.
