This volume aims at offering a critical reassessment of the
progress made in Homeric research in recent years, focussing on its
two main trends, Neonalysis and Oral Theory. Interpreting Homer in
the 21st century asks for a holistic approach that allows us to
reconsider some of our methodological tools and preconceptions
concerning what we call Homeric poetry. The neoanalytical and oral
'booms', which have to a large extent influenced the way we see
Homer today, may be re-evaluated if we are willing to endorse a
more flexible approach to certain scholarly taboos pertaining to
these two schools of interpretation. Song-traditions, formula,
performance, multiformity on the one hand, and Motivforschung, Epic
Cycle on the other, may not be so incompatible as we often tend to
think.
