Early Greek hexameter poetry and its language is the focus of this book, and McConnell addresses the question of why the Greek in which this poetry is composed is so special and unique in ancient literature. It has long been maintained that various features of the artificial dialect of the poems gradually fell out of use as time went by, and therefore that we can use the poems' language to date the texts. This book takes a deep dive into the linguistic features in question and the wider problems in extrapolating chronology from their distribution, all while advocating for the importance of statistical rigour. Part I contains five chapters which are devoted to different linguistic phenomena, and problems in quantifying them are set out in each. Part II argues that chronology is just one part of a much wider picture, and that not only dialect but also style is a highly salient factor in understanding language variation throughout the poems. This notion of style is linked to the linguistic concept of register, and it is argued that the prehistory of different kinds of poetry led to the creation of different registers for different (sub)genres within the corpus. McConnell therefore takes a linguistic approach to understanding the literary history of early Greek hexameter poetry.

Homeric language fascinates because of its many oddities with respect to other forms of Ancient Greek. From which dialects did this poetic language take shape and develop? In which ways did individual poets alter the language? In this volume you will find twelve cutting-edge studies on linguistic change in oral traditions, with a focus on Early Greek epic but also including Near-Eastern traditions (Biblical Hebrew, Quranic Arabic). Several studies focus on an innovative idea of phonological change occurring within an oral tradition. You will also find studies on the adaptation of linguistic form to meter; formulae and epithets; and contact between different traditions or registers.

Challenging many established narratives of literary history, this book investigates how the earliest known Greek poets (seventh to fifth centuries BCE) signposted their debts to their predecessors and prior traditions – placing markers in their works for audiences to recognise (much like the 'Easter eggs' of modern cinema). Within antiquity, such signposting has often been considered the preserve of later literary cultures, closely linked with the development of libraries, literacy and writing. In this wide-ranging new study, Thomas Nelson shows that these devices were already deeply ingrained in oral archaic Greek poetry, deconstructing the artificial boundary between a supposedly 'primal' archaic literature and a supposedly 'sophisticated' book culture of Hellenistic Alexandria and Rome. In three interlocking case studies, he highlights how poets from Homer to Pindar employed the language of hearsay, memory and time to index their allusive relationships, as they variously embraced, reworked and challenged their inherited tradition.

Book I of the Iliad marks the beginning of the first surviving work of Greek literature. This edition with commentary enables readers at all levels to interpret the poetry with heightened pleasure and understanding. It provides help with the morphology, grammar, and syntax of Homeric Greek, situates the poem in its historical and poetic contexts, and elucidates its traditional language, meter, rhetoric, and style, as well as its distinctive transformation of traditional mythology and narrative motifs in accordance with its own interests, values, and poetic purposes. It also addresses the programmatic contrast in Book I between gods and humans; the characterization of both major and minor figures; and the thematic significance in Book I and the poem generally of the representation of social, cultural, religious, and ethical institutions and values. Fully accessible to undergraduates and graduate students, this edition also contains much of value for the scholar.
