This view enables us to appreciate at its true value a well-known passage of Aristotle in the Poetics, 23. "Homer takes a part of the war, but introduces many incidents (eVetcroSta), while others take as their theme one hero or period or complex action, as the composer of the Cypria and the little Iliad; for which reason, while only one or two tragedies are composed respec- tively from the Iliad and the . Odyssey, from the Cypria there are many, and from the little Iliad more than eight. " Of c...ourse, if my reasoning is right, then the explanation of an undoubted fact given by Aristotle is the wrong one. WAS QUINTUS AN IMITATOE OF OUR HOMER?
