From Hittite to Homer – Mary Bachvarova, Professor of Classical Studies at Willamette University

In this study, Mary Bachvarova analyzes the Homeric tradition, noting among other things that “the ongoing competition and collaboration among Ionian poets, particularly in the context of the performance of the Iliad and the Odyssey at the Panionia, during the late eighth and seventh centuries, significantly accelerated the evolution of the vocabulary and narrative content of the Iliad and the Odyssey, until they became the highly sophisticated and complex works of art known to us.”
