No complete, scholarly commentary of Homer's "Iliad" has been
published in German since Ameis-Hentze-Cauer (1868-1913). In the
meantime, considerable progress has been made in many traditional
branches of the study of Homer (language, facts, structure etc.).
In addition, generally acknowledged fields such as narrative
studies have received a systematic basis, while Mycenaeology
(Linear B) and oral-poetry studies provide completely new
possibilities for analysing texts. Using the old Ameis-Hentze-Cauer
as a basis, the new commentary will take these developments into
account and seek to reflect the current level of Homer studies as
comprehensively as possible. Primary target groups include students
and academics of classical studies as well as the humanities in
general.

Homer s Iliad has influenced European literature and art to this
day. In the last 30 years, researchers have made significant
progress in illuminating this epic. In this study, a leading Homer
scholar engages in dialogue with the international research
community to reflect on today s most significant questions, among
them the Iliad s origins, language and style, structure, historical
context, and after-effects."
Dem eigentlichen Homerkommentar, der im jeweils zweiten Faszikel
eines Bandes geboten wird, geht im jeweils ersten Faszikel der
griechische Text (von M . L. West) und die Aoebersetzung von J.
Latacz voraus. In der dritten Auflage wurden einzelne
Vorbemerkungen zu diesem Faszikel aktualisiert.
The Basle complete commentary on Homer's Iliad is widely used
internationally, both in research and teaching. The second, revised
edition of the commentary on Book 1 (vol. 1, 2002) having been out
of print for some months, a third revised edition is now available.
In this book Joachim Latacz turns the spotlight of modern research
on the much-debated question of whether the wealthy city of Troy
described by Homer in the Iliad was a poetic fiction or a memory of
historical reality.
Earlier excavations at the hill of Hisarlik, in Turkey, on the
Dardanelles, brought no answer, but in 1988 a new archaeological
enterprise, under the direction of Manfred Korfmann, led to a
radical shift in understanding. Latacz, one of Korfmann's closest
collaborators, traces the course of these excavations, and the
renewed investigation of the imperial Hittite archives they have
inspired. As he demonstrates, it is now clear that the background
against which the plot of the Iliad is acted out is the historical
reality of the thirteenth century BC. The Troy story as a whole
must have arisen in this period, and we can detect traces of it in
Homer's great poem.
