Working on A sampling of comments on the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey, I have made revisions, concentrating on the need to fill some gaps in my analysis of Homeric poetry. Here I focus on a set of revisions centering on the Muse who is invoked by the Master Narrator in Iliad 1, at the very beginning of the epic. What led to these particular revisions in the first place was a question I was asking myself: why does this singular Muse in Iliad 1 get re­invoked in Iliad 2 as a set of multiple Muses? I have no solution as of yet, but at least the revisions I have made in my comments point toward a hoped­for answer from the re­invoked Muse herself. The illustrations that I have chosen for my post here are suggestive of the answer I am hoping for: possibly the singular Muse is Calliope, divine mother of Orpheus. I am not the first, and I will surely not be the last, to argue that Calliope is the originating Muse of the Iliad, but my reasoning, however tentative, has its own merits, I think.

In my comments on I.01.001–012, I list among the subject headings: “Muse as goddess of poetic inspiration.” Then I go on to say that the Master Narrator begins his narration by focusing on the anger of EU/EEA Privacy Disclosures Achilles, and that he invokes a Muse, as a goddess of inspiration whom he addresses here simply as theā ‘goddess’, to sing this anger, I.01.001. Then, in the same set of comments, with reference to the idea of the Muse(s) as the goddess(es) of poetic inspiration, I cross­refer to a general comment on I.02.484– 487 and to two special comments on I.02.484 and on I.02.761. Before leaving my comments on I.01.001– 012, I add this obvious comment on I.01.001: By saying ‘sing, goddess [theā]’, the Master Narrator is saying that the song that he will perform is something that he hears from the Muse.

Now I turn to my general comment on I.02.484–487. Here I list among the subject headings: “Muse(s) as goddess(es) of poetic inspiration.” Then I go on to say… The immediacy of the Master Narrator’s The Last Words of Socrates at performance here is counterbalanced by an attitude of remoteness from the composition. Such a the Place Where He Died counterbalance indicates the Narrator’s deference to the epic tradition of Homeric poetry. The Narrator does not claim that he knows the tradition: instead, he says he just ‘hears’ it from the Muses, goddesses of A Roll of the Dice for Ajax poetic inspiration, and this act of ‘hearing’ is kleos, I.02.486, derived from the verb kluein ‘hear’. The literal Penelope’s great web: the violent meaning of kleos as ‘the thing heard’ has an enormous prestige that translates into the idealized meaning of ‘glory, fame’ as applied to the composition and performance of Homeric poetry. The Narrator of Homeric interruption poetry is proud of his capacity to ‘hear’. To hear what? To hear ‘the thing heard’, which is kleos. This capacity translates into ‘glory, fame’ not only for Homeric poetry but also for the poet who performs the poetry. Such a poet claims access to both the form and the content of what he ‘hears’ the Muses tell him. Most Common Tags §3. Then I offer a specific comment on I.02.484, and I list there among the subject headings: “re­ invocation of Muse(s).” Here is the wording of I.02.484: ἔσπετε νῦν μοι Μοῦσαι Ὀλύμπια δώματ’ ἔχουσαι ‘tell me now, you Muses who have your dwellings on Mount Olympus’. In this context, I signal for the first time the poetics of re­invocation, referring to further comments on I.02.761, Ι.11.218, I.14.508, I.16.112. For Achilles Aphrodite apobatēs Ariadne now, it suffices to observe that the re­invocation of the Muses here at I.02.484 pictures these goddesses in Aristotle Artemis Athena Athens the plural, by contrast with the singular Muse who had been initially invoked at I.01.001. There will be Catullus Chalcis chariot fighting another invocation of the singular Muse at I.02.761, to be followed by invocations of plural Muses at Ι.11.218, I.14.508, and I.16.112. In the case of each invocation, there is a heightened level of poetic self­ Delphi awareness about the importance of what is about to be narrated. Here at I.02.484, for example, the Master Commentary Narrator shows his concern about the need for accuracy in re­creating a comprehensive catalogue of Demodokos Dionysus etymology essentially all the cultural ancestors of the Greek­speaking world. On other occasions of re­invocation, there Euripides Gregory Nagy H24H HAA are comparable poetic concerns. travel-study Helen Hera Herodotus Hippolytus Homer Homeric epic Iliad Jean Bollack lament Lelantine War mimesis Minoan Empire Mycenae Odysseus Odyssey Pausanias Phaedra Pindar Plato Poetics Posidippus Sappho Theseus weaving Zeus Archives Archives Users Log out Homer’s medium is imagined here as writerly, not performative, but such historical inaccuracies do not bother me.

I come to my second specific comment for now, on I.02.761, where the subject headings include, again, “re­invocation of Muse(s).” Unlike what we see at I.02.484, Ι.11.218, I.14.508, I.16.112, where the Muses are invoked as plural goddesses, the Muse here at I.02.761 is invoked as a singular goddess.

Homer and Hesiod Abstract One of the most frustrating aspects of Homeric studies is that so little literary material outside the Homeric corpus itself survives to enhance our understanding of the cultural landscape of the period. Recent scholarship suggests that a large and diverse poetic tradition lay behind the figure we refer to as "Homer," but little of it survives. Indeed we have little continuous written Greek for another century. The one exception is Hesiod, who composed two extant poems, the Theogony and Works and Days, and possibly several others, including the Shield of Heracles and the Catalogue of Women. As we shall see, while Hesiodic poetry was not occupied specifically with heroic themes, it was part of the same formal tradition of epic, sharing with Homer key metrical, dialectal, and dictional features.

  • SCIENTIST at WORK -- JONATHAN SHAY; Exploring Combat and the Psyche, Beginning with Homer by DAVID BERREBY
    New York Times, Science Section March 23, 2003 SCIENTIST AT WORK -- JONATHAN SHAY; Exploring Combat and the Psyche, Beginning With Homer By DAVID BERREBY Copyright © 2003 The New York Times Co. Reprinted with permission At age 40 Jonathan Shay had life by the tail. He had his own lab at Massachusetts General Hospital and several papers published in prestigious journals. He was focused on the biochemistry of brain-cell death, with its relevance to strokes. But life takes sudden twists. As Sophocles wrote in Athens 2,400 years ago, no one should be counted happy who is still alive. Dr. Shay soon had reasons to contemplate that line, and plenty of time. That year he turned 40, Dr. Shay, the professional student of strokes, had one of his own. He emerged from a coma paralyzed on his entire left side. Not long after, his marriage ended. The family business -- which had paid the bills for his lively intellectual life through graduate school in sociology, a medical degree and a Ph.D. in neuroscience -- hit hard times. Medical research grants were getting scarcer, so even as he pulled himself together he found his work stalled. ''I had two great educations,'' he said, sitting in his pleasantly cluttered home in this Boston suburb. ''The official one started in the suburbs of Philadelphia when I was a child. Then I had this second one.'' As he was recuperating, Dr. Shay passed the time by ''filling in the gaps'' in his education. He read English translations of the Greek epics, the ''Iliad'' and the ''Odyssey,'' and the Athenian plays and philosophers.

  • Cultural Analysis Reviews 85 REVIEWS the Singer of Tales. By
    Cultural Analysis Reviews REVIEWS The Singer of Tales. By Albert B. Lord. Harvard Studies in Comparative Literature, vol. 24. 2nd ed. (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 2000. Pp. xxxvii + 307, CD including audio and video recordings, intro- duction by Stephen Mitchell and Gregory Nagy) In 1949 Albert Bates Lord defended a dissertation entitled “The Singer of Tales” before the Department of Comparative Literature at Harvard University. The title came from the few surviving pages of a study planned by his mentor Milman Parry before the latter’s untimely death in 1935, but the result was a significant extension of that blueprint. Although it would still be eleven years before the thesis saw print in 1960, it sparked the introduction of the so-called “Oral Theory” of Parry and steered Lord to Old English poetry via a 1953 article entitled “The Oral-Formulaic Character of Anglo-Saxon Narrative Poetry” authored by one of Lord’s dissertation advisors, Francis P. Magoun, Jr. This is but one example (as far as I know the earliest) of the prodigious influ- ence exerted on world literature studies by The Singer of Tales, which by any measure must be recognized as one of the twentieth century’s most enduring works of research and scholarship in the humanities. The initiative began with Parry’s groundbreaking analyses of the texts of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, and with his deduction that their repetitive, formulaic phraseology was symptomatic of their traditional heritage and their transmission by a long series of bards over many centuries. His hypothesis of traditional heritage soon evolved into a double hypothesis of tradition linked with oral performance, as Parry began to re-create what he believed to be not just the character but the actual presentational me- dium of the Iliad and Odyssey.

The first set is the actual poetry ascribed to Hesiod, primarily the Theogony and the Works and Days. As for the second set, it consists of ancient texts that were external to that poetry.1 On the basis of passages in Hesiodic poetry that refer to Hesiod (Theogony 22–34; Works and Days 27–41, 646–662), the following “biography” has been reconstructed in an introductory work intended for nonexperts: Out of these passages a skeletal biography of Hesiod can be constructed along the following lines.
