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; but at the same time
adumbrates Achilles' own death and the fall of Troy. 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. While
the introduction is mainly geared at intermediate and advanced
students, the commentary is designed for use by both students and
professional classicists: it offers up-to-date linguistic guidance,
and elucidates narrative techniques, typical elements and central
themes.
