Marcianus Graecus Z. 454 [= 822], known to Homeric scholars as the Venetus A, is the oldest complete text of the Iliad in existence, meticulously crafted in the tenth century CE. New technology offers an opportunity to rediscover this scholarship and better understand the epic that is the foundation of Western literature.
