: This article aims to explain why in Homeric narrativity, where usually nothing happens in the background, there is no suspense linked to an uncertainty about an outcome; it will link this to the so-called “Zielinski’s law” (I). It will also analyse recent attempts to find suspense gaps in Homer (II).
