A Glossary to the Iliad
by Mark Winterrowd |
Homer’s Iliad, the oldest of Greek literary works, was
probably composed around 700 to 800 B.C. It arose out of an oral
poetic tradition which must have gone back at least a few
centuries before that. The circumstances of Homer’s life, who he
was, where and exactly when he lived, how he composed his epics,
all are unknown. What we do know is that we possess a number of
manuscripts of remarkable uniformity, which have led many,
though not all, scholars to deduce a single authorship.
