Homer as an oral tradition (Chinese)
Year: 2003
Type: article
Abstract: The Homerist's idea of an oral tradition is necessarily different from that of the students of a living oral tradition. Homer is a text and Homeric orality is a matter of philology. Homerists' notions of oral tradition will thus be mediated by textuality, and Homer's orality can only be accessed through those features that survive the song's transcription.
