Synopsis
Excerpt from The Problem of the Homeric Poems
The following book contains the results of an ex tensive investigation into the two great Homeric poems, the object being to determine, if possible, from the internal evidence alone, their mutual relation and connection. How far I may have succeeded in throwing light on the Homeric question, or in solving the problem in all its parts' and intricacies, others must determine; but I may claim the credit of having faced the question fairly, and of having contributed materials that may be instrumental towards its ulti mate decision.
