How can we explain metrical irregularities in Homeric phrases like
? What do such phrases tell us about the antiquity of the epic
tradition? And how did doublet forms such as beside originate? In
this book, you will find the first systematic and complete account
of the syllabic liquids in Ancient Greek. It provides an
up-to-date, comprehensive and innovative etymological treatment of
material from all dialects, including Mycenaean. A new model of
linguistic change in the epic tradition is used to tackle two
hotly-debated problems: metrical irregularities in Homer (including
muta cum liquida) and the double reflex. The proposed solution has
important consequences for Greek dialect classification and the
prehistory of Epic language and meter.
