In this 1976 follow-up to his major work The Songs of Homer, Geoffrey Kirk considers the nature of oral and epic poetry, and the meaning of an oral tradition. The longest section is derived from the J. H. Gray Lectures, which Professor Kirk delivered in 1974 and which had not been previously published in any form.
