Listening to Homer by Ruth Scodel

Discusses how ancient Greek bards ensured that their poetry would reach audiences of diverse backgrounds. Focusing on reception rather than on composition, this book argues that an audience would only rarely succeed in identifying narrative innovation.
Ruth Scodel is D. R. Shackleton Bailey Collegiate Professor of Greek and Latin, University of Michigan, and past president of the American Philological Association.
