Yet, millennia after their composition, basic questions remain about them. Who was Homer?a real or an ideal poet? When were the poems composed?at a single point in time, or over centuries of composition and performance? And how were the poems committed to writing? These uncertainties have been known as The Homeric Question, and many scholars, including Gregory Nagy, have sought to solve it. In Homeric Responses, Nagy presents a series of essays that further elaborate his theories regarding the oral composition and evolution of the Homeric epics. Building on his previous work in Homeric Questions and Poetry as Performance: Homer and Beyond and responding to some of his critics, he examines such issues as the importance of performance and the interaction between audience and poet in shaping the poetry; the role of the rhapsode (the performer of the poems) in the composition and transmission of the poetry; the "irreversible mistakes" and cross-references in the Iliad and Odyssey as evidences of artistic creativity; and the Iliadic description of the shield of Achilles as a pointer to the world outside the poem, the polis of the audience. 606 $aEpic poetry, Greek$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aOral tradition$zGreece 606 $aOral-formulaic analysis 615 0$aEpic poetry, Greek$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aOral tradition 615 0$aOral-formulaic analysis. 676 $a883/.01 700 $aNagy$b Gregory$0169582 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777512503321 996 $aHomeric responses$91108069 997 $aUNINA
