  • Recovering the voices of subaltern groups is one of the great challenges facing ancient historians. Whether conceived of as a moral imperative or a historiographical one, attempts to re-centre historical victims of oppression, exploitation and abuse in our picture of ancient societies have become a mainstay of ancient historical research. The three books under review differ in their form, methodologies and outlook. Together, they offer a representative sample of the high quality of recent research conducted on the subjects of slavery and subaltern groups in ancient Greece and of the direction of travel in these areas.

  • In the century since Milman Parry argued that the Homeric poems arose from a long tradition of oral poetic performance, Homeric studies has been grappling in various ways with that argument. The most fundamental question has been the nature and function of the ‘formula’, famously defined by Parry as ‘an expression regularly used, under the same metrical conditions, to express an essential idea’ (M. Parry, The Making of Homeric Verse [1987], p. 13). In the fifty years between the end of World War II and the late 1990s debates about the implications of oral composition were the liveliest area of Homeric scholarship, a period whose vibrancy is best encapsulated in A New Companion to Homer (edd. I. Morris and B.B. Powell [1997]). After a comparatively unproductive interlude in the early 2000s, which was preoccupied with inconclusive debates about what a ‘formula’ is, the last ten to fifteen years have produced innovative studies of Homeric composition and aesthetics. Moreover, as has been the case for the last century, new approaches in other disciplines – including Embodied Cognition, New Materialism and Computational Linguistics – have been put to good use by Homerists. This essay discusses books published in the last decade that have made significant contributions to key scholarly developments both in Homeric scholarship and beyond, as well as new editions, commentaries and essay collections focussing on Homeric epic.
