The two epics may have had different composers. “Homer” may be the name attached to poems shaped over generations by performers working within a vast oral tradition.

Rosy-fingered Dawn keeps arriving. Achilles remains swift-footed even when he is sitting down. Athena is grey-eyed. These formulas gave performing poets dependable units of language that fitted the metre while the story moved forward. This was not a theory dreamed up in a seminar room. Milman Parry and Albert Lord worked it out in the 1920s and 30s by recording illiterate oral poets still performing epic songs in the Balkans, and found them building lines from the same kind of ready-made phrases, composing from memory, at speed, in front of an audience. The poems’ Greek is itself an artificial mixture of dialects rather than the ordinary speech of one place and moment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThen there is Troy. Archaeology confirms that a major city existed at Hisarlık in modern Turkey and suffered destruction, but that does not prove Homer’s war happened as told. Heinrich Schliemann excavated the site in the 1870s convinced he was digging up Homer’s Troy, and in his haste bulldozed through several later layers of the city to get there; archaeologists have spent the century since working out what his methods destroyed or missed. The poems may preserve distant memories of Late Bronze Age conflict, transformed during centuries of performance. They contain objects and customs from different eras, which makes perfect “historical accuracy” a rather slippery demand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"troy-pb-z44","title":"Homer: Troy: (Collins Classics) [2018] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eHarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e          \u003cp\u003eWhen Paris falls in love with legendary beauty Helen of Troy, the devastating effects of their affair on their families and fellow citizens are unimaginable.
