Homeric Soundings: The Shaping of the Iliad
Taplin
To a reader, the Iliad may seem long and shapeless. But Oliver Taplin's careful study, through sample explorations or soundings, reveals powerful networks of connected scenes and motif. These networks which may well have been more immediate to an audience gathered to hear the whole poem performed out loud, probably during the course of three successive nights.
