Abstract
Homer's formulaic artistry according to Lucian When imitating Homer's Odyssey in his True Stories, Lucian not only demonstrates how well he knows the text of the Homeric poems, but also how aware he is of the poet's compositional technique, which we would nowadays label as "formulaic artistry". He structures his own narration by using renewed typical scenes and creating between them, in a very Homeric fashion, a play of echoes and variations.
