This article (a contribution to a Festschrift for a well-known Indo-Europeanist) is a study of the relationship between the spoken and written version of a Homeric line (Odyssey 13. 194) which has been regarded as "incurably unmetrical" (Janko) and for which many emendations have been put forward in the past. The article shows that the 'unmetrical' alloeidea is in fact due to a conservative spelling habit, and that an alleged 'oral dictated text' of Homer is by no means involved.

Abstract
This article (a contribution to a Festschrift for a well-known Indo-Europeanist) is a study of the relationship between the spoken and written version of a Homeric line (Odyssey 13. 194) which has been regarded as "incurably unmetrical" (Janko) and for which many emendations have been put forward in the past. The article shows that the 'unmetrical' alloeidea is in fact due to a conservative spelling habit, and that an alleged 'oral dictated text' of Homer is by no means involved.File allegati a questo prodotto
