The poems of the Epic Cycle are assumed to be the reworking of
myths and narratives which had their roots in an oral tradition
predating that of many of the myths and narratives which took their
present form in the Iliad and the Odyssey. The remains of these
texts allow us to investigate diachronic aspects of epic diction as
well as the extent of variation within it on the part of individual
authors - two of the most important questions in modern research on
archaic epic. They also help to illuminate the early history of
Greek mythology. Access to the poems, however, has been thwarted by
their current fragmentary state. This volume provides the scholarly
community and graduate students with a thorough critical foundation
for reading and interpreting them.
