To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
OF EPIC POETRY. 27 was edited and arranged with reference to our Homeric poems and to a certain degree made to harmonize with them.
The disparagement of the " Cyclics" in later times was a necessary result of the celebrity which the Iliad and the Odyssey had attained as literary compositions in the time of Plato. It is very likely, too, that very inferior hands were employed to epitomize the old Troica, and that, by comparison with the Cyclic fragments, the Iliad seems to us the more genuine po...em. But we cannot get rid of the positive evidence we have, that the old Homer was not our Iliad. When once the " non-Homeric " poems came to bo regarded as detached compositions, separate names for them were found, or invented, as well as names for their supposed authors the Cypria of Stasinus, the Aethiopis of Arctinus, the Little Iliad of Lesches, &c. Of course the term "Little Iliad " implies the pre-existence of a greater poem of that name. I have already remarked ( iv. ) that the so-called Little Iliad is probably the older and more authentic poem of the two.
