Expanded Course Description
| This course will introduce you to Homeric poetry through selections from the Iliad in the original Greek. We will pay close attention to the poem's diction, its meter and language, with a view to developing fluency in reading and an appreciation of the rhythms of the dactylic hexameter. We will also study its literary technique: its narrative structure and its characterization of gods and heroes. We will seek to understand its historical background and its profound influence on the Classical world. Since our written text is the final product of a centuries-long performance tradition or oral poetry, i.e. of singers who composed in performance and for performance, we will consider the nature of oral poetics and its compositional units, the formula and the theme. We will discuss why the written text of an oral poem should be read, appreciated, and edited differently than the text of a poem composed with the aid of writing and for a reading public.
