PREFACE
In the present edition I adopt without reserve the principle
that in the Homeric epics every tribrach, wheresoever placed,
can count as a dactyl and every iambus as a spondee. 1 This
is practically the same theory as that of Fick, who holds
that in Homer all short syllables could be lengthened as the
effect of the ictus. 2
This anomalous use of tribrachs and iambi in place of
dactyls and spondees was not incompatible with a good rhythm.
By the successive repetition of dactyls and spondees the voice
1 Payne Knight was led by his theories as to the forms of
certain words to introduce tribrachs or iambi into many passages.
Thus he wrote correctly v. 428 Svcrci/Aopos, v. 435 ScS^^t', v. 439
otl pa. But, strangely enough for so acute an observer, he failed to
perceive the true reason why such forms were admissible. For he
says p. 52 " Littera 2, sicuti alias liquid A and MNP, saepe pro-
ducta vel duplicata est in pronunciando. KIIT quoque ictu et emphasi
pronunciandi duplicabantur." This view led him into the error of
admitting into his text even trochees, as for instance in v. 41 <pi\oq
roa-ovSe ycvoiro. His theory, in fact, was irrational, since it assumed
that consonants could be doubled by the ictus and even lengthened.
2 Fick has not drawn from his observation all the profit which
lay ready to his hand.

would acquire the habit of dwelling upon the arsis of every
foot ; or, as we might now express it, upon the first beat of
every bar. It would thus convert into a long syllable any
short one which happened to occur in that position ; and,
with the syllable thus lengthened followed by two short
syllables or one long, the foot or bar would be complete. 1
But though these short syllables were rhythmically possible,
they must certainly have introduced a wrong pronunciation
into the words in which they occurred. For what the old
Greek prosodists called a length is exactly what in modern
languages we, less correctly, call an accent. 2 The effect,
1 Whilst in a dactylic metre an iambus could rhythmically
replace a spondee, a trochee was an impossible substitute. After
passing over the short syllable of the second beat, the voice, accus-
tomed by the constant repetition of dactyls, would require another
short syllable in order to complete the bar which it was reciting.
It would then draw into that bar the first (long) syllable of the
next bar, thus ruining its rhythm by the introduction of 5/8 instead
of 2/4 time, and throwing the whole verse into confusion. Equally
impossible would be an anapaest, as its first syllable would necessarily
be lengthened, and the time again become 5/8.
2 In modern Greek there can be no doubt that what is called
an accentuated syllable is a long one. If we take a word like yepos
(an old man) and pronounce it so that the voice passes rapidly over
the first syllable and dwells upon the second, we produce the
adjective ypos (sound); and by the reverse process yepos (sound)
becomes yipo? (an old man). This characteristic of the accent in
modern Greek has already been observed by others. Brugman,
Gr. Gr. p. 151, states " Alle unbetonten Vokale [in modern Greek]
werden heute kurz, alle betonten halblang gesprochen." Hubert
Pernot, in his fine work Etudes de Linguistique neo-Hellenique (chez
PREFACE 5
therefore, of lengthening a short syllable would be the
same as that of accentuating wrongly a modern word.
" Secretary," for instance, would be accentuated in the
American fashion and pronounced as " Secretary," were its
penultimate to be lengthened.
These mispronunciations constituted, as a matter of course,
real and serious faults, and would have sounded ridiculous in
a poem meant to be read. But we know from Homer's
account of Demodocos that in his day epic poems or ballads
were not read or recited, but sung or chanted ; and in
singing or chanting the jarring effect of wrong accentuation
was, in all probability, to a great extent disguised. In later
times, however, the case was altered. At least as early as the
seventh century the Homeric poems became, as it were, text-
books in the schools, from which reading and writing were
taught ; and in reading the faults in accentuation inevitably
disclosed themselves and became offensive. It was then that,
in order to remedy matters, recourse was had (whether con-
sciously or unconsciously we cannot tell ; probably the latter)
to several expedients whereby other forms could be given to
the offending words. These forms being new, a new accentua-
tion in accordance with the exigencies of the rhythm would
be given to the words so produced with comparatively little
linguistic shock.
I cannot at present go over a complete list of all the
words so affected, or even of all the expedients adopted. It
I'auteur, 7 Rue du Clos d'Orleans, k Fontenay-sous-Bois, Seine,
1907), has fully investigated this fact, and now placed it beyond
dispute. And I venture to think that in this respect what is true
of one language is true of all.
6 PREFACE
will suffice for my purpose if I mention only such expedients
as have a bearing upon the text of this book.
1. Under the influence of such compounds as eXXet7r&>
ififjLevco ivvooi, a liquid following a short vowel which
occurred in the arsis was often doubled. Hence we
And such forms as e^ifiaOe efifievat, eWafie evveire ; and
then tot^eWe y A^CK\ev^ Svcrdfifiopos.
2. In imitation of the double a which is of such frequent
occurrence in words such as TLvdo-aa> irdaau aaaov
avaaaa, were created the forms iireaav^ievo^ o-TTJdeacn
oaaov Sa/jniao-ofjiev eaaeaOai eXaaaov irepoaaeiovro
deiKiaaaaOai 6ttl<to-(o. This expedient was extended
further and led to forms like oTnrore ottl 1
3. a in the root was often changed into rj, after such
examples as aycor/yov : hence prjiSico? Brfios Arjtyoftos.
4. e and o in the root were often changed into et and
ov respectively, after e^welyov to ovofiarovvo/jLa.
Thus we find the forms fieikivov eive/ca BeiBi^aTo
OvXvftiros yovvara (after yovva) fielXavt reipea ovpea.
A further development is visible in the forms ifielo
aelo reXelco veiKeUo yvca vlos.
5. pL/ceXo? was made into efoeXo? after tVo?.
6. o in the root was changed into ot, in oXoto?, probably
after 6fxolo<;.
7. The oblique cases of nouns and participles in -o>i>
and -a)? were altered into -ou/o? and -coto?, after
such words as dycovdycovos eu/?o>5 eu/90)To?. This
gave rise to the forms IltjXeLwva 'HeTtcovo? /jbefxaoyji
Tedvrjwra.
1 The derivation of om from oB-tl seems to me far-fetched.
PREFACE 7
8. Nouns in -i/<? -779 -rjvs were declined in -7705, e.g. "Aprjos
'AxiXrjos toktjwv vfjas, after such contracted forms
as dXrjdrj t^. A further development appears in
ttoXtjos fiavTrjos.
9. After arrival, redrjvcu were formed <TT7]\ievai yotjfievai
Tidrjiievai ; and rcOtj/xepac led to Tidrjfievos aijfievos.
10. In the subjunctives of athematic aorists the suffixes -eco
-erjis -Tji were often altered into -em -eirji,*; -eirji under
the influence of optatives in -t,r}$ -eirj. In this way
were created the forms Saeico fivyeirji? hap,eir)L.
11. After %ayLa\ were formed irapal, then anral viral, and
finally viratOa.
12. 8 was changed into f in apltyjkos after a#eo9 Ja/coTo?.
13. arap was frequently changed into avrap after atyre.
The proof that these forms are mere fictions lies, of course,
in the fact that, whereas their peculiar lengthenings are ex-
tremely numerous in the arsis, they are to be found in the thesis
but rarely ; had these been natural, there is no reason why they
should not have been admitted as unreservedly in the one as in
the other position. In the genuine parts of this book we find
such lengthenings about ninety times in the arsis as against five
in the thesis (vv. 41, 332, 389, 404, 446). These five pass-
ages can all be corrected very simply ; and a detailed examina-
tion of two of them (w. 332 and 404) will prove instructive,
as in their case it can be demonstrated with almost mathematical
cogency that the suspicious forms have been foisted into the text.
In these verses we find eo-aeO* and aeuciaaaaOat,, whereas
we should have expected both infinitives to have been written
with a single o\ Now, in v. 332 our traditional text reads
0-W5 eaaeaff. But the uncontracted form crao? must be
restored ; and, this being done, the future will only fit the
8 PREFACE
rhythm if it is written eaeaff. In the same way, in v. 404
the middle aeucio-aaaOai is inadmissible (cf. v. 2 5 6 aPeiKicroj) ;
and a comparison of the whole phrase aPeuclaaaaOai e/ D r/i ev
TrcLTplhi yalrji, with P244 av6t (J>l\tjc ev TrarpiBc yairjc and
the other passages quoted in my note on v. 404 shows that the
middle suffix -adcu is nothing else than a corruption of the
adverb av6i. If we now restore both the active voice and the
adverb avdt,, the line will only scan provided that the aorist
infinitive is written with a single a ; and we shall thus read
apeiKiaai avOc eprjc ev irarpiZi yavqi. Our text contains
several passages equally instructive ; and I will comment
upon one more, as its case is absolutely clear. In 0239
we find an intolerable asyndeton rjvp viov. If we remove it
by writing rjvpe h\ the metre imperatively demands, in place
of viov, what we find elsewhere as its genuine form, i.e. vbv
( m viov with a short penultimate).
The fictitious forms I have described, with which our
traditional text teems, impart to the Homeric diction a
motley and bizarre appearance. It is not only because
they are grammatically anomalous ; probably no language
is free from anomalies. Its oddity is rather due to the
fact that so many words are represented as possessing
duplicate and liuid forms in the mouth of one and the
same person. We can best illustrate the effect of this by
imagining an Englishman as saying at one time " water "
bed " " hard " ; at another, " wateer " " beed " " hawrd." In
the case of any other language or person, such a possibility
would be utterly scouted ; and it is incredible that Homer
alone spoke in this monstrous fashion. Indeed, if we were
content to believe that Homer's diction was of this extra-
ordinary kind, we should be forced to suspect that he was
PREFACE 9
a foreigner and, as such, uncertain as to the true forms of
the words with which he composed his poetry. It is only
by restoring constant forms to the epic words that we can
rescue Homer from such a supposition ; and this restoration
is only feasible provided that we admit tribrachs and iambi
as legitimate substitutes for dactyls and spondees. Were this
principle to be followed out concurrently with the restoration
of the digamma and of uncontracted forms, the Homeric dialect
would resume a tolerably normal appearance, and the text
stand in no need of being rewritten in Aiolic or of any other
violent treatment. Nor would it then be so difficult to con-
struct a rational Homeric Grammar, a task which at present,
and not without reason, is occasionally disparaged. Existing
Grammars seem to acquiesce in the principle that every
Homeric word could be a law unto itself.
Let us now see whether any instances of tribrachs and
iambi have survived in our traditional text : for, unless such
facts are found to a considerable extent, it would be some-
what venturesome to proceed to a correction of all the forms
which I have indicated, however strong the presumption
that they are fictitious. Fortunately, of such instances
there is no lack.
1. We have those verses which the ancients called
dfce^akovs. They begin with words the first syllables
of which are short, such as <f)dei Sea <f)l\e clcIBtjc \vto.
These have apparently escaped intact, since it was
found impossible to alter them. Their immutability
once secured, they were excused on the ground of
" poetic licence " ; and so even other similar words in
the same position, such as e7rel and fieXavi, which
could liave been changed to eTnrei (after oinroTe) and
10 PREFACE
fielXavi, were allowed to survive in their genuine
forms.
2. Next, we have those verses called by the ancients
fieCoupoc. These end with such words as navea 6<f>iv
av(f>ov vepueai 6&bv debs-m ; they have, that is, an
iambus for their sixth foot. The genuine feet in
these fjbeiovpoi have probably survived for the same
reason as those in the aicefyakoi.
3. We find tribrachs in the endings of the following
comparative and superlative forms : avirjpbrepo^
KaKo^eivorepof} oi^vporepos ol^vporaTo^. The gram-
matical necessity of forming the degrees of comparison
in -orepos -oraro? when the preceding syllable is
long, sufficiently accounts for the freedom of these
forms from corruption.
4. In the sixth book, v. 229 ends in ov ice Svvrjcu. But
an athematic subjunctive should form its second
person in ecu. See Enchir. p. 303.
5. We find that certain words, such as avepes vScop
"Aprj? ^AiroXKayv behave very strangely, in that their
initial syllables are long in the arsis, but short in the
thesis. It has been supposed that this is a special gift
peculiar to these words ; such a view is tantamount
to contending that short a and v in certain words can
differ in nature from short a and v in other words, a
contention which, to my mind, is wholly inadmissible.
The true explanation of the phenomenon can be no
other than that these short initial syllables can exist
in the arsis because, in conjunction with the following
syllables, they can form a tribrach or an iambus.
6. We constantly find at a cresura words such as rjXdes
PREFACE 11
uicovovTes Kepaov Karrj peeped? , the final syllables
of which are short. They thus form iambi or
tribrachs in conjunction with the first, or the first
and second, syllables of the succeeding words when
these words begin with a vowel. These final syllables
have clearly escaped being tampered with because,
being suffixes, they did not lend themselves to altera-
tion. They are supposed, we know, to be lengthened
as the effect of the caesura; but why a caesura should
possess this magic power remains a mystery to the
present day. A caesura, in my opinion, is endowed
with no special gifts, but owes its existence to a very
simple cause ; this cause I will endeavour to explain.
A hexameter is an exceedingly simple verse and
possesses but two special features. The first is its
tendency to break off or come to a pause at the end
of the second dipody. Such a pause we meet with
in both the trochaic and the anapaestic tetrameters
of the ancients, as well as in the iambic tetrameters
of the modern Greeks, in their so-called 7ro\m/co<?
(i.e. vulgar) verse. The hexameter in like manner
would inevitably break off at that point if it extended
beyond its present length. In fact, it is probably
owing to its being the longest possible uninterrupted
verse that the old rhapsodists, with unerring instinct,
adopted it ; for a long continuous verse is best suited
to serve as a medium for narrative poetry in a
language of long words like ancient Greek. 1 The
1 The dactylic rhythm, moreover, must have offered a further
inducement, in that it is particularly good to dance to. The trvpros
12 PREFACE
second special feature of the hexameter is its tendency
to start its initial foot with words ending with the
end of that foot. In the opening thirteen lines of
this book no less than ten are so constructed. This
feature is probably due to the fact that, unconsciously,
the poets found it convenient to put first in a verse
any whole dactyl or spondee occurring in the phrase
which they were about to express.
Now, what would be the consequence of the
presence of diaereses at the end of the fourth and
first feet ? Clearly, that in the remaining feet the
ends of words might not coincide with the ends of
feet ; in other terms, that at the ends of those feet
there might be no diaereses. Otherwise, in a language
of long words, the verse would become intolerably
monotonous. Every true poet, consciously or uncon-
sciously, without going to the length of pedantry, would
certainly strive to avoid such monotony ; and this we
can actually observe happening at the present time
alike in Komaic and in Italian, both of them languages
of longish words. Solomos, for instance, in writing his
fine epigram on Psara, thus divided his anapaests :

of the modern Greeks a survival probably from classical times
is a dance of a dactylic rhythm, consisting of three steps, the first
one long, the next two short.
PREFACE 13
And Niccolini, in his famous lines on Italy, divided
his anapaests in a similar manner :
Io vorrei j che stendesjser le nujbi
Suir Italia un mestis|simo ve|lo ;
A che tanto sorri|so di cie|lo
Sulla ter|ra del vi|le dolor ?
The so-called caesuras, therefore, are nothing else than
a structural necessity resorted to in order to avoid
monotony of versification : and since they do not
necessarily give rise to pauses, they possess no
power whatever of lengthening short syllables.
It follows that a short syllable occurring at
a caesura remains short and, combined with the
succeeding syllables, forms a real tribrach or
iambus.
7. Every true poet, without lapsing into pedantic precision,
must endeavour to avoid hiatus in his verses. But
in Homer we seem to be constantly coming across
this blemish, when the final vowel of the preceding
word is long. Unless we are to impute to so fine
an artist either carelessness or indifference in the
matter of hiatus, how can these apparent flaws be
accounted for ? Very simply and naturally. There
are really no hiatus in passages of this kind : the long
vowel becomes shortened in front of the succeeding
vowel, and we know that, whenever such a shortening
occurs, the hiatus, for reasons which now escape us,
disappears. In these passages, therefore, we have
really to deal with tribrachs or iambi, and not with
dactyls or spondees.
This view is strengthened by the fact that only
3P

14 PREFACE
very rarely indeed x do we meet with instances where
the long thesis of a spondee is followed by a word
beginning with a vowel. The reason, I have no doubt,
is that the long vowel would have become shortened,
converting the spondee into a trochee ; and we have
seen in note on p. 4 that such a foot does not fit a
dactylic rhythm.
So far as the genuine parts of this book are concerned,
I have ventured to modify the text in accordance with
the foregoing views. In other respects I have followed, on
the whole, van Leeuwen's grammatical ideas, as expounded
by him in his Enchiridium Dictionis JEpicac and put into
application in the edition of Homer which he has published
in collaboration with Mendes da Costa.
In the spurious parts of the book I have allowed the
linguistic peculiarities of our traditional text to stand. There
is no doubt that these peculiarities were created at a very
early period, 2 for they are very frequent in Pindar, Simoni-
des, Bacchylides, Theognis, Solon, Alcaios, Sappho, Tyrtaios,
Alcman, and even in Simonides of Amorgos, Archilochos, and
1 The instances are so few that the conclusion that they are due
to textual corruption is irresistible. Indeed, where they occur, the
text often needs correction on other grounds, as when we find
wypci TapfScl instead of <oyp Tap/Je'ei (see van Leeuwen's Enchir.
p. 74). When those corrections are introduced, the trochees
simultaneously disappear.

PREFACE 15
Callinos, poets who flourished towards the very beginning of
the seventh century. We cannot affirm that Homeric inter-
polators did not equally employ them, since it is impossible
to prove that they were at work prior to those old Lyrics.
Besides, it is clear that wrong lengthenings, if they were not
original in the interpolated parts, should only abound in the
arsis : whereas interpolators, ignorant of their true significance,
interspersed them without discrimination in the arsis and in
the thesis alike. Thus in this very book we find v. 44 vlcov
in 05 fi vla)v ; v. 6 9 T0a7rer}a? in Tpaire^rja^ rrvXacopofc ;
v. 72 aprj'CfCTafievcoi at the beginning of the line; v. 118
oaaa in oaaa tttoXis tfhe tcetcevde ; v. 2 1 1 MglXXfof in ttjp
fiev 'AxcWfjos ; v. 375 ovTrjaaaice ; v. 386 vrjeaai in Kelrat
irap vyeaai. 1 Such errors, I may add, when, as in the
passages quoted, they are incapable of correction, and especi-
ally when they are found in conjunction with contracted
forms (such as ap,ep6rji<; in v. 58) and with neglect of the
digamma, provide a reliable criterion whereby to identify those
passages for which Homer is not responsible. Passages of this
kind will generally be found deficient in poetic inspiration.
My designations of papyri and manuscripts agree with
those of Ludwich's Index.
1 If our manuscripts were trustworthy, we should conclude that
the lyric poets erred in the same way. For I find the following
artificial lengthenings in the thesis :
Theognis (Bergk) : 72 iroaaiv. 83 roaaovs. 127 ciKacrtrais.
Alcman : 41 'OSvo-o-^o?.
Archilochos : 14 too-ow.

NOTES
NOTES
1. Tre<|>u6Ts. Suspected by Nauck. It means 'in a state of rout,'
and the Trojans could not be in a state of rout within the walls.
It is probably borrowed from $528.
rjvre. A word of doubtful correctness; whenever it occurs we
should probably read oTa tc. Cf. 17IO6 oTa re <j>v\ka.
2. IBfxS-iroXuV Cf. K572 ISpoa iroWbv dwevitovTo. N705 ni09
*507. For irokvv our mss give iriov t ; but the aorist accords neither
with aire^/v\ovTo nor with o.k4ovto.
5. ardp. Mss airdp. Both these forms occur frequently, but both
cannot be right. See Preface p. 7.
5. 6\or\. Some mss okoirj. See Preface p. 6. The genuine form
exists in vv. 15 and 102.
7. riTjXetoi'a. The correct form in -ova instead of -<ava occurs in
'Iifcrovos Kpoviovos (H247) Avicdovos 'Yircpiovos 'YirepiovLSrjs AoAoiriWos
*llOVirjS 'EpfXlOVT] TtXclOVOS.
8. vi. See Preface p. 6. Mss vie. This word is frequently found
with a short penultimate ; but a diphthong before a vowel cannot
be shortened except at the end of a word.
Tt&x&ai. See Preface p. 6. Mss TaxcWo-e. The traditional text
gives datives in both -co-t and -co-o-i. But it is no more rational to
suppose that Homer used both than that a Tuscan could say at one
time velo bel-la and at another vel-lo beta. It is true that -co-o-t
appears in Inscriptions; but too much importance need not be
attached to this fact. The double <r became an orthographical
tradition derived from the Homeric text-books, and was even
admitted into such words as pacraroiv paXicra-KiTai vooo-s (vovg).

46 NOTES
13. ou rot jjLoporifAos clp. Supply KTafxevai ; that is, ov rot ( = <rot)
fiopa-ifiov coTt KTdfxcval fie. This is how Krtiger explains the con-
struction in his Grammar 55, 3, 11 ; no doubt correctly. Cf. E674
ovS* dp* '08v<r<rf}i (T)-fi6pcrLfJiOv ^cy-Aios ibv aTTOKTapav.
14. *Ax-Xeus. Mss give 'AxiXeus or 'AxiAAevs according to the
supposed exigencies of the rhythm ; both forms cannot be right.
19. pcuStws. Mss prfi8i(i><> ; but that the first syllable is short is
tjlear from E304, where we find pia, i.e. pda.
2223. nnros dcOXo^opos-os p& tc pip^a. Gcrjiai. Cf. V. 162 wso" or
a$Xo<l>6poi-liriroL pip.<f>a pcdka rpo\ant)(TL. N29 rot 8' (tirtroL) IttItovto
pifufia p.dXa. v83 (?7r7rot) pi/x,<pa irprfo-o-ovai Ke\ev$ov (perhaps kc\cv6ov).

vw/*a. For pip.<f>a mss give pcia j but in the case of a racing (deOXo-
tfnpos) horse we require the sense of swift, not of easy, movement.
The same error seems to have formerly existed in v. 163, for the
Scholiast there states "piji<J>a: pai8ia>s, Karaarptyei Sk els to (i.e.
eventually becomes) renews, " where pcuSoos must be an interpretation
not of pifjxJM, but of ptla. In v83 we meet with a corruption of
pip.<f>a in the variant SiaTrprjo-o-ovai for pi/x<f>a irpy']<r<rov<ri. Cf. also on
y. 142. The combination p[p.<f>a BUlv is found in K54 and v88.
Further, though the combination pa tc occasionally occurs, I much
doubt its correctness; such a meaningless addition of expletive
particles is unworthy of Homer. In this passage we should perhaps
read pAka. Thus in A381 wci p-aAa poi <f>i\o<s rjcv we find a variant
iirei pa vv (*oi <f>C\os rjev. The phrases piaAa ptfi<pa, p.d\! w*a, p.d\ y
4u\J/a, p.dXa Kpaiwds are very frequent.
24. y6^ aTa - The lengthening in the antepenultimate of the
traditional form yovvara is supposed to compensate for the loss of a
digamma, this digamma existing as v in the nominative yoVv. The
distinction between this v and those in the suffixes of pdo-rv tt>v p.i6v
seems entirely arbitrary. I have no doubt myself that yovvara is
a rhythmical expedient, and has been created after yovva. In the
latter word the lengthening is easily accounted for: a syllable
NOTES 47
having been lost, the word strove to resume its previous quantity by
lengthening another syllable. Cf. Sdfvai-3owai iificvai-ttvai.
26. ^^ajx<|>al'6^'9 , <3s. The participles 7rajx<f>aivoiv and 7rap.<f)av6<Dv
exhibit this peculiarity, that whereas they occur some twenty-five
times, the other moods of their verbs are only represented by
TrafA,(fiaLvr)L(Ti in E6 and Tran<l>aivov in A30. Even in these two
passages the verbs are corrupt; in the former the subjunctive is
impossible (see van Leeuwen ad loc), and in the latter the sense
requires a word like ir7rr]yv. Why this lack of the other moods 1
Everywhere the participles can and should be replaced by the
adjective 7rafx<f>av6Ls. The following participles share the same
peculiarity : yavo<av KOfiowv KaprjKo/xooiv KvpLaiviov TrjXiOotov XafXTreTowv
vTreprjvopettiv vTrep/xtveayv virtp-qfyavioiv, for which, I think, we must
substitute the adjectival forms *yai/ds ko/xos /cap^/co/idcis Ki^a-rocis
ryjXtOotis A.a/A7rToeis vTreprjvop6is virep/xcvdcis vireprjtfxxvoeis. The error
of form is made manifest in 87 and a>227, where instead of
pv7r6(ovra one ms gives correctly pvirotvra ; in y290, where the mss
give both Tpo<f>ovra and rpo^oevra ; in 8227, where for firjTioaiVTa
there is a variant p.-qrt6tvra \ and still more instructively in A157,
where we know that Aristarchos substituted o-kioWtci for mss
vKioevra. The corruption is due to the influence of later times, when
the adjectival suffix -s became extinct except in x a P^- I mav add
that under the strangely-formed adjective trdvrov iicr-qv there lurks,
perhaps, irafxtfyavoeo-o-av. Further, dakafxov K-quavra in 13191 seems a
corruption of 6d\ap.ov KeuOfiovotvra.
iimru^ivov. The mss c7rro-ufii/oi> implies the fantastic present
o-o-cvw. Thrice, in E208 A147 E413, we find the aorist Wcva with
its first syllable in the thesis, where it must necessarily be long.
But in alfi eaaeva (E208) this verb is inappropriate and should be
corrected to 7/<v<ra ; cf. t337 vSup-Ocpjxov eir^^vcre. The other two
passages are unintelligible and thus afford no evidence.
27. jxcToirupio?. I.e. 'in the autumnal season.' Cf. 8194 fiera-
S6p7rLos. The suffix -tos is usual in compound adjectives formed
48 NOTES
by a preposition and a noun and denoting place or time: thus
7rofi<f>dXio<i VTrovpavLos eiWx^o? Travrjfxepios (where nav- is equivalent
to a preposition); also Trpwi'os, according to my correction, in v. 318
of this book. During the month of October Sirius, the star here
meant, is very conspicuous in the early morning, the time when
it would be most frequently observed by the ancients (see note on
v. 318); and October would be accounted by the ancient Greeks
as it is also by the modern Greeks the chief autumnal month.
Thus Thukydides in vii. 79 refers to the month of September as
being towards the approach of autumn : rov Irovs irpos fxcroTroypov rjSrj
ovros. McToirwpov was the season after all the fruit had been gathered,
i.e. after the vintage, which in Greece takes place in September
(it was not the season after the harvest, as Leaf says : the Greek
harvest falls in June, which is therefore called Ocpiarifc). For
/AT07r(opios the mss give pd r oirwfyrjs, which is clearly wrong : for in
summer Sirius is not conspicuous at any hour of the night. We
can see how the corruption may have arisen from a scholion on
fieraSopTTios (8194) which states " pcTaSopirios* Scittvov topai." A
similar interlinear note on /x.eT07rwpios may have also forced its way
here into the text.
dpi&rjXoi. See Preface p. 7. In the form dpl^qXoi which we find
in our mss the change of 8 into is inexplicable.
28. dpoXywi. The late Prof. Pantazidis of Athens in his Homeric
Dictionary connects this word with dp.6pyrj, Latin 'amurca'
or 'amurga,' meaning 'olive-lees,' and with the modern Greek
/novpyos 'a dark-faced dog/ He also refers to the Macedonian
word murdjischu 'twilight.' But /wmpyos, a term of abuse 'a cur,'
seems to be connected rather with fioXofSpos, which also is used
abusively in p219 and <r26.
29. 'QpiWos. P. Knight 'OapiWos ; van Leeuwen and da Costa
(2486) 'OaptWos (it should be 'OaptWos; see note on v. 7). But
Menrad is probably right in regarding the verse as spurious.
35. pXi<nr<5|iws. That the word began with two consonants is
NOTES 49
clear from passages such as v. 91, where the thesis of the preceding
spondee would otherwise be short.
36. 'A X iX e 'u Similarly we find B23 'Arpe'o? B105 'Arpei Z222
Tv&a E406 TvSeos A372 TvSti El 15 UopOei etc. (see Enchir. 76).
For the mss form 'A^iX^t see Preface p. 7.
41. aiOe-Toaoi' uSc. For at#e-d>8 in expressions of wish cf. 2272
K536. See my note on v. 454. Instead of roaov <S8c the mss give
rocraovSe ; but we often find the form toow, and Homer cannot
have said the word both as rocrov and rocrcrov.
77. Tj pa yipwv. Cf. Z390 rj pa yw^, quoted here by Faesi.
iroXids 8' apa x^iTas ciXkcto TiXXwy ck K<f>aXTJg. Cf. K15 7roAAas
iK Ke<f>a\rjs-cL\KTo ^aiVas. The mss ava is undoubtedly wrong, as
dve'AKeiv means 'to draw back,' e.g. a bow, but cannot be applied
to hair, which is not drawn back by a person in despair, but, on the
contrary, forward. In K15 there is no am. If the word is removed
here, the line will not scan unless rpc'xas is replaced by x at ' Ta ?-
Mss Tpi'xag must have been a gloss on xatrac, which it eventually
displaced. Cf. Hesych. "^an-ai* at K\vfiivat rp^es" and " x^T "7
irrl tov rpa^Xov Opi$."
81. In the space marked as a lacuna the mss give fiiv SaVpu
Xcova. This, occurring so soon after &d.Kpv ^covo-a * n v - 79, betrays
an unresourcefui hand and cannot come from Homer. Besides, it
not fit the rhythm, for before /^cVea we should have x OVora
without an ecthlipsis. The original words were probably /cat p*
( = ^01) o\o<pvpofxcvrj or koll fAiv pXio-cro/xevr). Thus in <J>73 we find
Kai fxiv <f><i)vrj(ras as well as koll p o\o<pvp6fXvo<; and ko.l fxiv Xiaro-o/xevo^
7Ta 7rrepoVTa 7rpo(Tr)v8a. On the obliteration of the digamma pro-
sodists must have tried to remedy the consequent hiatus by intro-
ducing words of their own.

rd^a is constantly used in forebodings of an impending disaster.
Instead of rd^a our mss give fitya, which would need to be construed
with avv$. "A rare use noticed by Schol. Ven. 2 : to p,eya vvv cVt
tov T07rov (viz. in a local sense)." Paley, who might have said with
more accuracy that there is no other instance of such a use. Perhaps
the notion that ore could be lengthened before a liquid, but not before
r, suggested to prosodists the alteration. In /?40 and o537 ra^a is
displaced by /naAa, in a>353 by dfia,
98. oxftqaas. There are so many passages where dxOrjaas precedes
a speech commencing with olfioi that I have hesitated to interfere
with the text. But a person who exclaims w/uoi and ol/xot does not
ox^t, but ol/xitifci ; and I strongly suspect that here and in other
similar passages we should read ofytw&x?. From passages like 0208
it appears probable that ox&jo-as should only be admitted where the
context requires an expression of anger or impatience.
f > iirv o>a-0ujioV. I.e. wpfxtp'v dva Bvfjubv (v. 131) 'he said

vTraida. is a fiction derived from that other fiction V7rai which, like
7rapai and kcltou, was invented to meet those cases where the rhythm
required a long syllable at the end of the preposition. See Preface

143. Tpcx. Hector, after taking to flight and leaving the city
gates behind, continues to run under the walls round Troy. The mss
Tptar f i.e. ! took to flight and went under the walls ' conflicts with
vv. 6 and 137. In the former passage Hector is placed near the
gates, and therefore close by the walls ; in the latter, it is clearly
stated that he had not left this position (av0i) until then.
144. Tixc' utto. The dative with faro which exists in one ms is the
only case which agrees with the sense of the passage as given in the

where noise and clamour (Prjxv) are prevalent. The application of
Pvxh to tne lamentations over the dead is impossible, nor are
instances of such a usage found elsewhere. It is true that this

is only found in that common expression tov 8' d7ra/Ai/?o'ttvo9, with
a few exceptions. These are (1) i;298 t;308 X347 A362 v3 tov 8*

variant in ^298. (2) The next group of exceptions is Y199 0140
0158 0400 p445 t405 <o327, where the phrase is exactly the same
as the preceding one, save that instead of 'AXkiVoos we have Aivcuxs

is a variant d/xctyScTo. (3) In p405 we find tov 8' avr 'Avrtvoos

214. It is both inartistic and improbable that so soon after
v. 187 the name of Athene should be repeated. The whole verse
seems to have been remodelled so as to serve as a jwnctura with
the interpolated piece vv. 188-213. The passage originally ran
somewhat in this way :

represents him very absurdly as ' insatiable of battle.' I strongly
suspect that the text has been radically tampered with, and that
originally there was only one verse, thus :

56 NOTES
the case there is different. Whereas instead of 7re<pvya it is possible
to say 7re<fivy fievos dpX (see Enchir. p. 325), it is a positive solecism
to say 7r<l>vyfxvos iyevofxrjv ; of such an expression there is no
instance nor could there be. Ncr#cu has been corrupted into

advanced in support of its derivation from either dXw or k-qOoi or

sense, being synonymous with hzivorradioi, whereas certainly in this
passage a term of strong abuse is required, such as kvov in v. 345.
Perhaps dAtrpe, to which the interpretation dAm/pu in the Scholia
seems to point. It is this term that Athene in her passion (0361)
hurls at Zeus when she accuses him of folly.
2G2. The fragment in Pap. ]~[ x is referred by Menrad to v. 273.
263. The ins reading di/8pcs practically makes this verse a mere

kvvs, the natural enemies of the wolves.

same. Cf. also El 47 euro 8' av^eVos wp.ov ipepyaOtv. The mss reading

must clearly be sought in the fact that ipipyova was corrupted into
Ipyovo-t, and that the verse thus became unrhythmical.
325. XauKayiTji. A locatival dative. I suspect, however, that this
word of unknown etymology is a fiction fabricated for rhythmical
purposes, and that the original word was either XaKaviui or XtKavCoiL.
The word Xa.Ka.viov or Xzudviov would be a diminutive of XaKavr) or
Xeicdvr], and denote the depression at the root of the neck formed
by the collar-bone. This would correspond exactly with Homer's
description. I admit, however, that I should have thought it more
64 NOTES
likely for Ae/tdviov to mean the depression under the cartilage of the
gullet, which in modern Greek, by a somewhat analogous metaphor,
is called Xolkkolkl. Compare XtJkvQos as a term denoting the gullet.
330. Kovir\^\ Similarly in E75 v\pnre h* ev Kovirji. The mss Koviqia.
We constantly find this plural dative in our traditional text; it
occurs nearly forty times. Having become familiar with it we do
not thiuk it strange, though the other plural cases kovloli Kovidwv
Kovias would shock any scholar who is at all conversant with the
Greek language. But the plural dative is equally objectionable, and
it was probably invented in order to obviate cases of hiatus. We

370. Qr\r\(ravTo. I suspect the genuine word is Oerjo-avro. This is
suggested by Brjtvvro in ^728, for if the uncontracted form is sub-
stituted, the verse will only scan provided that the first syllable of
the verb is short.
371. ouk dp rrpiy tis dyourrjTi kc trapi<m\. I.e. 'but before no one
could have stood by unhurt.' My conjecture ovk ap -n-plv-Kc, which
I made long ago, is confirmed by a remark of Doederlein quoted by
Paley, who states : " Doederlein explains it [di/ovn7ri] ' unwounded,'
i.e. in former fights led by Hector. This would at once be a testi-
mony to his prowess." The traditional reading ov8' apa ot-yc states
that all those who approached the corpse thrust their spears into it
Of such a practice there is no evidence in Homer, though there
were so many opportunities of mentioning it if it existed. It is only
alluded to again in 12421-422 ; but those verses are a reminiscence
of this passage, and their language betrays them as an interpolation.
Moreover, if we admit the traditional reading as sound, we must
conclude that, though so vivid a painter of war, Homer never
witnessed a field of battle, nor realised that for so many men to
spear a corpse meant to disfigure it beyond recognition.

strangely, to say that her burning of the dresses is objectless. Besides,
both oihkv and avrots are not Homeric forms. Nauck had conjectured

mss reading.
74 NOTES
30-31. Far from being refulgent, Sirius during the fever season
just emerges before dawn as a very faint object. A great poet like
Homer would not describe natural phenomena at random ; nor would
he be so unresourcef ul as to write ko.1 t, especially so soon after hi re.
That melodramatic expression BaXoia-t ftporolcriv makes it likely that
these lines were interpolated by the learned copyist who foisted into
the text vv. 71-76. As is often the case in spurious passages, we
find here an a.7ra$ clprjfxevov, i.e. 7ruper6v.
34. This verse is doubly tautological. For ot/i,was and fiey
iyeywvei signify practically the same thing, and thus repeat twice
what has already been stated in the previous verse. Further, dva-
o"xo/x,vos is so unskilfully added as to have K<f>a\rjv for its object.
44-45. Hoffman has already condemned vv. 46-55. But with
them must go also the two preceding lines. Besides, v. 44 contains
a false quantity in vlu>v. See note on v. 8.
48. Kpeiouora yuvaiKui' is an a7ra ilprrj/xcvov, and it really means
nothing.
51. In this verse Laothoe is represented not as a concubine, but
as a wife. This betrays the interpolator's ignorance, for in Homer
there are no instances of polygamy. Moreover " Priamo non opus erat
concubinsB vel uxoris peculio ut filios posset redimere, neque dotem
accipiebant heroes sed uxorem sibi emebant." Van Leeuwkn and

fUKUK0a8iwTpoi'. This makes Priam say that his and Laothoe's
grief would be of short duration, though not so short as that of the
other Trojans.
56-58. The anxiety in Priam's mind was not lest Achilles should
NOTES 75
be glorified, but lest Hector should perish. This, however, was stated
almost immediately before in vv. 39-40. Besides, a/xtpOfjis is a non-
Homeric form, and so is cuwvos as a feminine (the interpolator
probably had in mind faffs). Equally non-Homeric is the adjective
<f>t\o<; as applied to atwv or /3lo<s.

63. vr\iria wra. Presumably, Priam's own ; which is absurd.
64. Stjiottjti. This word everywhere, with the sole exception of
the spurious verse /*257, means 'fight.' There is no question of a

be the first, or among the first, to be put to death. And why
Trpwrt)L(Ti Ovpr/io-ivl The text really represents Priam as though

raged around him ; and then, when everything else had perished,
being slain methodically on the very spot where he stood and thrown
to the dogs.

93-97. Hector was not in a rage as represented in these verses ;
his speech, on the contrary, shows that he was full of misgivings.
His resolution is so uncertain that at the approach of Achilles he
ilees in terror. The idea also that, whilst momentarily expecting to
meet in battle his mortal foe, Hector deprived himself of his shield,
is utterly puerile. The verses, further, contain a non-Homeric word

111-130. To Achilles it was no longer a question of compensa-
tion, as these verses imply, but of terrible revenge for the death of
Patroclos. Nor is it conceivable that, when Achilles in his victorious
advance had shown himself so revengeful and pitiless, Hector, the
chief object of his intense hatred, should propose to approach him
unarmed and thus place himself in his power. The passage teems
with absurdities, as we shall presently see.
113. i<av. Redundant.
117-122. These verses appear to me an amplification by the
hand of a later interpolator. The grammatical connection with the
preceding words is very awkward. The second interpolator most
probably felt that it was no longer possible to obtain peace merely

by restoring Helen and Paris's spoils. In this he was right ; but he
was not equal to expressing his idea in a sensible way.
117. dfju|>ls is regarded by commentators as equivalent to x w P^
' apart from Helen's property.' But according to this interpretation
the Atreidai are to have only Helen and her property, whilst every-
thing else is to go to the remainder of the Achaian army a very
unfair division. Laroche, however, thinks that d/x<is means the
same as dvSixa in v. 120, i.e. 'in two parts.' Matters are not im-
proved by this alternative interpretation. For the text would then
state, very absurdly, that of this division into two halves the only
partakers would be the Achaians.
'Axaiols. A non-Homeric dative.
118. oao-a. A false quantity in the penultimate. Besides, instead

yepouo-ioK opicoi>. I.e. 'an oath to be taken by the chiefs.' An
expression such as this would be intelligible if Achilles were to re-
ceive the oath ; but when applied to Hector, who as the principal chief
himself would have to give it on behalf of the Trojans, it is absurd.
121. Tautological after v. 118 and athetized by the Alexandrians
themselves.
123. ikwjjuu iwv. Very unskilful. Besides, in this passage with-

easily retire into the city.

one tree or another and court. The same correction is required in

there exists a variant avrov,

remarked by Laroche.
145-156. In these verses the course which Hector followed,
with Achilles in his pursuit, is represented as a straight one towards
the sources of the Scamandros and back. For Kpowio 8' Ikolvov
KaXXippooi can only mean ' they reached, they went as far as, the
two fair-flowing springs.' Not only does such a course conflict with
v. 230 fao-Tv irepi8i<oKU)v and v. 251 rpU 7re/>i fdorv-^vyov, where
it is clearly represented as one round Troy, but it is also an absurd
one, and worthy of a muddle-headed versificator who never realized
that, if Hector went straight to a point and then turned back, he
would on turning find his pursuer in front. The whole passage is

run swiftly. They contain, besides, linguistic peculiarities of a highly
objectionable character. (1) Uprjiov instead of fiovv, as though every

158 has been explained as parenthetical by J. Kenner (see Faesi-
Franke).
188-198 were probably inserted by the same clumsy hand which
added vv. 145-161. We know from v. 251 that Hector and Achilles
NOTES 81
ran round Troy three times and no more, and that the third circuit
was completed before the colloquy of the gods took place (v. 165).
In these verses, however, Hector is represented as making several
attempts (oo-o-ci/a) to rush towards the gates ; and as each attempt
can only have been made each time he passed by them, he is repre-
sented as going round Troy oftener than the three times of which
Homer knew. Secondly, there is an utterly confused statement
in vv. 194-198. We are told there that Achilles is steadily (aUl)
running on the side of the walls; notwithstanding, Hector tries
to save himself by making for the very side on which Achilles runs,
and Achilles, every time he sees him make this attempt, inter-
cepts him by hastening himself towards the side on which he is
already. Thirdly, the simile of the deer and the dog is tautological ;
in substance it is no other than that of the hawk and the partridge
which was given in v. 139 If. when this very pursuit was described.
Fourthly, the simile implies that Hector occasionally succeeded in
concealing himself for a time, whereas in v. 193 it is affirmed that
Achilles never lost sight of him. Fifthly, the change of subject twice
over in vv. 191 and 192 is such as only a writer devoid of skill and
taste would have been content to acquiesce in.

them brought to mind here is not only needless ; it suggests many
awkward questions, which there is every reason to suppose that
the original poet would have been careful not to stir. Aristotle him-
self felt the difficulty ^(Poet. xxiv. 8) : fiaXXov 8' v8c;( CTat *v rfji

But the concealment should at least be as complete as possible."
Leaf, II. ii. p. 617.
208-213. "jSTachdeni Zeus Hector aufgegeben, kann Apoll ihm
nicht mehr beistehen und ebenso wenig hat Zeus nach v. 185 noch
eine entscheidung zu treffen oder das schicksal zu befragen, welches

dem dichter der Menis iibrigens mit Zeus willen identisch ist."
Fick, II. p. 14.
211. 'AxiXXtjos. A false quantity in the third syllable.
212. ataipo^ TJjiap. A strange expression instead of aura or K-qp.
272. The mention by Achilles of all his comrades instead of
Patroclos only is against the spirit of this rhapsody. See v. 331 ff.
Besides, instead of Iktwis we should have expected the imperfect.
In a43 we find the sentence vvv 8' a$poa tt&vt averto-tv without further
amplifications.
301-303. The sense of this passage is muddled. It states that
Zeus and Apollo had in the past been Hector's staunch defenders
(Trp6cf>pov<; dpvaTo) ; but still for a long time past (iraAai) they
preferred him to die rather than live. Besides, vvv avri fxe fiolpa
Ki^avct is a mere redundancy after v. 300 vvv he Srj iyyvdi /mot Oavaros.
301. dX&j. Wrongly used in the sense of escape ' (as if it were
connected with aAco/xa.) instead of * warmth.'
302. uUI cKr]p6X<n. It should have been vet or vuit /^k^/SoXou.
316. This verse is absent from A and other mss. It is a mere
reminiscence of 2612 KaXr/v 8ai8aAcryv, inl Bk xpvcreov \6<pov fjntv.
But r)Ktv in that verse is a corruption of r^v (cf. 2390 562 <f>7) ; so
that this verse with Ui must have been composed after tjci/ had, in
course of time, become ^kck in 2612.
329. " It must be confessed that 328-329 look somewhat like
an early rhapsodist's answer to the difficulty : how can Hector speak
with the spear through his throat ? " Leaf.
cir&aaic. A doubtful form instead of piirtviv.
375. See note on v. 371. I should have marked this verse as
athetized by Senacherim.
ouT^aaaice. A false quantity in the second syllable. The word
could only be ovrdcraaKc.
381-390. No one can fail to notice the poetical inferiority of
these verses. Linguistically, too, they are extremely objectionable.
ULprj$wjj.tv and yvwjxw are non-Homeric forms ; 6<ppa k, as pointed

out by Doederlein, is as ungrainmatical as tva *c would have been ;
and ak\a tlt) is a phrase which could only be employed in a soliloquy.
I say nothing respecting ci and av, as both these could easily be
rectified.
455-459 "confictos ex anteactis, et Andromaches brevi et
festinanti orationi assutos, esse vix dubitandum est." P. Knight.
There are besides obvious linguistic defects in this passage : SctSw ;
ayrjvopirjs aXeytivrjs ; rj /xiv XcrKe ; to ov; ikclv tlvI iov (Xvo<; ; ovBevl
(a late form which only recurs in the parallel verse A515).
487-507. Aristarchos rejected 487-499. And " it will be noticed
that the rejected passage contains aVa key opera of a sort quite
unfamiliar in Epic poetry ; airovprjo-ov<riv f 7rava<^rj\iKa, v7rfxvrjfxvK T
vTrtp^iiqvy afi<j>iOa\r]<i [Sairvos]. But it is clear that the athetesis does
not reach far enough. 500-4 are pointless except as a contrast to
the preceding picture of starvation ; 506-7 are a very clumsy addition
and frigid in the extreme." Leaf.

always anxious to supply a verb where it is not needed." Leap.

that the meaning of returning is alien to this passage.
499. 8 t aVewi. Perhaps $' eirdvcurt.
500. 'Ao-rudVaS. The genuine Homeric word was, I suspect,
AvTopdva, a synonym of Avro/xe'SW ' sole ruler.' To this points the
