Book Synopsis
The Iliad reveals a traditional oral poetic style, but many believe that the poem cannot be treated as solely a product of oral tradition. In The Iliad and the Oral Epic Tradition, Karol Zielinski argues that neither Homer's unique artistry nor references to events known from other songs necessarily indicate the use of writing in its composition.
