W.-H. Friedrich's "Verwundung und Tod in Der Ilias" was originally
published in 1956. Never before translated into English, its
importance has slowly come to be recognised: first, because it
discusses in detail the plausibility (or otherwise) of the wounds
received on the Homeric battlefield and is therefore of
considerable interest to historians of medicine; and second,
because it makes a serious and sustained effort to grapple with the
question of style, and thus confronts an issue which oral theory
has scarcely touched. Peter Jones adds a Preface briefly locating
the work within the terms of oral theory; Kenneth Saunders,
Emeritus Professor of Medicine at St George's Hospital Medical
School, London, updates Friedrich's medical analyses in a full
Appendix.
