I wrote this up for the Pharr-a group. Some others might find it useful.

The chart on the last page is probably the most useful part. I would like eventually to add more specifically Homeric examples, but not just now.
Feel free to suggest improvements.

Thank you, William.
Fanatical ranting is not just fine because it's eloquent. What if I ranted for the extermination of a people in an eloquent manner, would that make it fine? Rather, ranting, be it fanatical or otherwise, is fine if what is said is true and just. ---PeterD, in reply to IreneY and Annis
