Sinopsis:

Exploring how Homeric language shaped early Greek tragedy

This scholarly work traces how Aeschylus absorbed epic patterns, vocabulary, and style from Homer’s poems and related lyric sources. It surveys major scholarly theories and then presents a careful, bottom‑up analysis of epic forms, words, and figures found in the tragedian’s fragments and surviving plays. The study is organized to show both broad influence and specific parallels. It discusses theories about why epic forms appear in tragedy and how metre and diction interact. It then catalogs epic forms, vocabulary, and Homeric phrases, and finally examines traces in syntax, subject matter, and poetic technique. The analysis relies on passages from Aeschylus and comparisons with Homer and other epic poets known to the era. What you’ll experience

  • Overview of key scholarly debates about Homeric influence on Aeschylus
  • Structured catalog of epic forms and their use in tragedy
  • Close discussions of epic vocabulary, phrases, and figures in the plays
  • Comparative analysis linking tragedy to epic and lyric poetry
Ideal for readers of Greek tragedy, Homeric epic, and literary history who want a careful, evidence‑driven look at how epic language shaped the earliest Greek tragedy.

Reseña del editor: Excerpt from Traces of Epic Influence in the Tragedies of Aeschylus: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Eichler, on the other hand, rejecting the idea of the poetic force of the epic form, regards the requirements of metre as the chief factor in determining the forms used. The tragic poets, he says, have not used the epic forms, except where the Attic did not fit the metre, and on the other hand, whenever they could employ either Attic or epic, they have always preferred the Attic.
