Book XXII recounts the climax of the Iliad: the fatal encounter
between the main defender of Troy and the greatest warrior of the
Greeks, which results in the death of Hector and Achilles' revenge
for the death of his friend Patroclus. At the same time it
adumbrates Achilles' own death and the fall of Troy. This edition
will help students and scholars better appreciate this key part of
the epic poem. The introduction summarises central debates in
Homeric scholarship, such as the circumstances of composition and
the literary interpretation of an oral poem, and offers synoptic
discussions of the structure of the Iliad, the role of the
narrator, similes and epithets. There is a separate section on
language, which provides a compact list of the most frequent
Homeric characteristics. The commentary offers up-to-date
linguistic guidance, and elucidates narrative techniques, typical
elements and central themes.
