Abstract

187 might just as well have its Homeric meaning 'dangerously large, threatening', see I. J. F. de Jong, Mnem. 38 (1985), 278.-Line 558: I would prefer Gerlaud's p 'tyF,6ocvCoq (F) to Livrea's p 'tye6,xvoc( (b). In 548 ff. Tr. deals with the miserable plight of the Trojan women; of the four categories this one is singled out by the poet for the climax, because theirs is the most horrible way of dying.-Line 684-685: Gerlaud fails to note that Xanthos' behaviour is the fulfil- ment of the promise reported by Homer in 0 373-376. Both editions are excellent specimens of the best traditions of the series in which they appear. Perusal of them has convinced me that this poem deserves the serious attention it has been given. Passages such as 8-16, 59-61, 188-198, 222-226, Cassandra's entire speech 376-416 with its effective ending, 452-453, 500-505, 539-541 show Tr. to be a worthy imitator of the inimitable.
