Abstract

I first reflect generally on the aims, audiences, and pedagogical goals of my recently published commentary on Homer’s Iliad, book 1. Then I discuss several exemplary passages in order to illustrate in detail my methodological concerns and ways of reading Homeric poetry, with a particular focus on its traditional meter, language, and style and on the interpretive significance of the fulfillment or disappointment of listeners’ or readers’ expectations.
