Synopsis
Excerpt from The Homer of Aristotle
This monograph is intended as a supplement to the writer's edition of Aristotle's Poetics,l the results of which both for text and interpretation are here assumed.2 It was shown there that the initial words of the Defini tion of Tragedy should be rendered literally The feigning of a virtuous experience, which interpreted from the author's ethical and political theories means Fiction about kings and queens. And though the philosopher does not like Plato identify the Homeric style with Tragedy, he holds that in these essentials the two coincide and the Unity which he postulates in Tragedy is found by him to an unsurpassed extent in the Iliad and the Odyssey.
The following is an attempt at working out these theorems from the hints which the treatise offers and on the lines which it suggests. The text of the Homeric Poems employed is that of Monro and Allen in the Oxford Classical Series; and the Translations of Butcher, Lang, Leaf and Myers are assumed to be correct, except where differences are noted. General reference is made to the Greek Grammar Of R. Kuhner, the Homeric Lexicon Of H. Ebeling, and the Dictionary of Greek Proper Names of W. Pape for such matters as come within their scope.
