Homerocentones

This is the first complete and critical edition of theHomerocentones, a biblical pastiche poem composed entirely of verses from theIliadandOdyssey. This neglected poem, an ingenious synthesis of Homer and the Bible, is important as it sheds light on the reception of Homeric poetry in later antiquity. M. D. Usher has carefully edited the text of a unique, previously unused manuscript. In this edition, the sources of all the Homeric lines appear in the margins of the text, and there is an apparatus to indicate how and where Eudocia's text differs from the received text of Homer. The Praefatio addresses the poem's unusual textual history, and contains Eudocia's prologue. Indexes of citations and of lines containing Homericvariae lectionesmake this edition easy to consult.Eudocia is the author of 'Homerocentones' with ISBN 9783598713187 and ISBN 3598713185.
