Das Kunstgesetz Homers Und Die Rhapsodik by Wilhelm Jordan. This German critical study presents a theoretical framework for understanding Homeric epic composition. Jordan argues that epic poetry is governed by a set of intrinsic principles—the 'art law' of Homer—by which the poet organizes mythic material and performance. He discusses Rhapso-dy (rhapsody) as a formal mode and details how unity of idea, narrative sequence, and the strategic use of divine intervention produce a cohesive epic. The Anhang surveys episodes such as Athene's guidance of Telemachus and the interplay of gods and heroes in Odysseus's homecoming, illustrating how a poet must balance myth, ritual, and audience expectations. The work contributes to classical poetics and the study of ancient epic craft, offering a rigorous defense of a modern poetics that preserves tradition while allowing innovation.
