Abstract

At Lucian Verae historiae 2.20 Homer is asked “whether he wrote the Odyssey before the Iliad, as most people say.” In the form in which it is transmitted, the text implies that the view that the Odyssey was composed before the Iliad was the (by far) prevailing one in antiquity. This paper argues that such an assumption is contradicted by all the positive evidence provided by literary sources and scholiography. The problem can be solved by correcting the transmitted τὴν Ὀδύσσειαν τῆς Ἰλιάδος into τῆς Ὀδυσσείας τὴν Ἰλιάδα. Thus emended, the passage reads: “whether he wrote the Iliad before the Odyssey, as most people say.”

Lucian Verae historiae 2.20和荷马诗歌的相对年表

在Lucian Verae historiae 2.20中，荷马被问到“他是否像大多数人说的那样，在《伊利亚特》之前写了《奥德赛》。”从它传播的形式来看，文本暗示了《奥德赛》在《伊利亚特》之前写成的观点是(到目前为止)在古代盛行的观点。本文认为，这种假设与文献资料和学术研究提供的所有积极证据相矛盾。问题可以通过纠正解决传播τὴνὈδύσσειαντῆςἸλιάδος为τῆςὈδυσσείαςτὴνἸλιάδα。经过修改后，这段文字是:“他是否像大多数人说的那样，在《奥德赛》之前写了《伊利亚特》。”

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
