The high level of creativity displayed here is bracing. For graduate students, the volume as a whole should serve as an inspiring example of how innovative student work in Homeric studies can be., A rish work offered by everyone of the nine contributors...Anyone interested in seeing more deeply into how Homer worked (what--or whoever one takes Homer to be) will likely read it with uniform interest from cover to cover.
