Excerpt from Homer's Odyssey: A Line Translation in the Metre of the Original In his Lectures on Translating Homer Matthew Arnold advises the translator to Preface have nothing to do with side questions - such as the question whether Homer ever existed, I should rather say that, however much interest he may take in antiquarian, or philological, or other side questions, it is best for him to give a wide berth to theoretics and polemics. Indeed, if the translator is one who fulfils Matthew Arnold's requirements by 'reading Homer perpetually for the sake of his poetry' - if he has experienced the happiness of long and continuous intimacy with what is so beautiful and so restful - he will shrink with pain from the Babel and the acrimony of literary disputation, and will feel much inclined to say nothing at all, knowing full well that, whatever he may say or may leave unsaid, his work will have to speak for itself. But I have been asked to write a Preface, and must do so. I shall state briefly the origin and the object of my version and the main principles that have guided me. Also I shall give what information may seem likely to prove interesting or useful on the subject of the metre - some of it highly superfluous for scholars; and lastly I shall explain the pronunciation of the more difficult Greek names that occur in the poem. It was many years ago, in Central Africa, that I first conceived the wish to translate the Odyssey. I knew, of course, that English translations existed - some of them of high literary merit; but what I longed to do was to reproduce the original, as far as might be, in its simplicity, its directness and its rapidity - characteristics which were, as far as I could remember, scarcely discernible in the metrical versions that I had seen, I longed to produce a translation which, although perhaps not constructed after the rules of any literary Beckmesser, might act, so to speak, as a good conductor for transmitting some of the vibration, the warmth and the impetuosity of the poem - some of that fascinating influence which Homers simple, direct, rapid narration exercised on me - and thus might enable readers ignorant of Greek to follow the story with ease, and to experience something of the same pleasure as those feel who can read the original. This wish remained dormant for many years, and when at last under favouring influences it revived and demanded a form I found myself obliged to consider what form I should choose for it.

This volume is the first English-language survey of Homeric studies to appear for more than a generation, and the first such work to attempt to cover all fields comprehensively. Thirty leading scholars from Europe and America provide short, authoritative overviews of the state of knowledge and current controversies in the many specialist divisions in Homeric studies. The chapters pay equal attention to literary, mythological, linguistic, historical, and archaeological topics, ranging from such long-established problems as the "Homeric Question" to newer issues like the relevance of narratology and computer-assisted quantification. The collection, the third publication in Brill's handbook series, "The Classical Tradition," will be valuable at every level of study - from the general student of literature to the Homeric specialist seeking a general understanding of the latest developments across the whole range of Homeric scholarship.

Excerpt from Homeri Ilias Furthermore, we have only one sure guide in the introduction of these older forms. Etymology may tell us in general terms what is older and bistori cally correct, but it is metre alone which justifies us in' introducing it into Homer. It was from metre alone that Bentle found the traces of the digamma. The question of e resolution of contracted syllables is purely metrical. We can do nothing at all in cases where metre does not betray a change. E mology can tell us the stages through which the nguage has passed, but it cannot pretend to reconstruct com pletely any given stage from one more recent. And thus the date, and even the existence, of numerous forms which we must suppose once to have existed somewhere, are for the reconstruction of the text a problem in which we are absolutely helpless. There may have been infinite changes in the language which we can never know, because they have left no trace in metre.
