| Sommario/riassunto: | This text delineates a different approach aimed at evaluating what the 'Iliad' furnishes to readers that makes it comprehensible and engaging. By positing certain functions hypothetically and applying them to the poem, this work uncovers the kind and degree of suitable 'reading material' the poem provides. |
