Performances of Greek epics customarily began with a hymn to a
god or goddess--as Hesiod's "Theogony" and "Works and Days" do. A
collection of thirty-three such poems has come down to us from
antiquity under the title "Hymns of Homer." This new Loeb Classical
Library volume contains, in addition to the Hymns, fragments of
five comic poems that were connected with Homer's name in or just
after the Classical period (but are not today believed to be by the
author of the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey"). Here too is a collection
of ancient accounts of the poet's life.
The Hymns range widely in length: two are over 500 lines long;
several run only a half dozen lines. Among the longest are the hymn
To Demeter, which tells the foundational story of the Eleusinian
Mysteries; and To Hermes, distinctive in being amusing. The comic
poems gathered as Homeric Apocrypha include "Margites," the "Battle
of Frogs and Mice," and, for the first time in English, a fragment
of a perhaps earlier poem of the same type called "Battle of the
Weasel and the Mice." The edition of "Lives of Homer" contains "The
Contest of Homer and Hesiod" and nine other biographical accounts,
translated into English for the first time.
Martin West's faithful and pleasing translations are fully
annotated; his freshly edited texts offer new solutions to a number
of textual puzzles.

The Prolegomena provide an introduction to the Basler Iliad
commentary. The volume includes essays on the history of Iliad
commentaries and the text, formulaic language and the oral
tradition, grammar, meter, characters, plot and chronological
structure, narrative technique, and developments in Homeric
criticism, as well as an Index of Mycenaean words with brief
explanations.
During the decades he spent preparing his edition of Homer, which
gained worldwide repute, Martin L. West accumulated numerous
interesting and new details regarding the transmission of the text.
He is presenting his findings now in this special monograph. This
work will serve to familiarize the Homer scholar with the latest
outcomes concerning textual problems in the "Iliad; " in addition,
it will make certain of West's editorial decisions more
comprehensible to the specialist.

In der 1968 gegrundeten Reihe erscheinen Monographien aus den
Gebieten der Griechischen und Lateinischen Philologie sowie der
Alten Geschichte. Die Bande weisen eine grosse Vielzahl von Themen
auf: neben sprachlichen, textkritischen oder
gattungsgeschichtlichen philologischen Untersuchungen stehen
sozial-, politik-, finanz- und kulturgeschichtliche Arbeiten aus
der Klassischen Antike und der Spatantike. Entscheidend fur die
Aufnahme ist die Qualitat einer Arbeit; besonderen Wert legen die
Herausgeber auf eine umfassende Heranziehung der einschlagigen
Texte und Quellen und deren sorgfaltige kritische Auswertung.
Greek epics of the archaic period include poems that narrate a
particular heroic episode or series of episodes and poems that
recount the long-term history of families or peoples. They are an
important source of mythological record. Here is a new text and
translation of the examples of this poetry that have come down to
us.
The heroic epic is represented by poems about Heracles and
Theseus, and by two great epic cycles: the Theban Cycle, which
tells of the failed assault on Thebes by the Seven and the
subsequent successful assault by their sons; and the Trojan Cycle,
which includes "Cypria," "Little Iliad," and "The Sack of Ilion."
Among the genealogical epics are poems in which Eumelus creates a
prehistory for Corinth and Asius creates one for Samos. In
presenting the extant fragments of these early epic poems, Martin
West provides very helpful notes. His Introduction places the epics
in historical context.
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.
