How should we rename the forum “Homeric Greek and Pharr’s Homeric Greek - A Book For Beginners”?
The poll will run for 7 days. You may vote for AS MANY options as you like.
Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns and many of the so-called Lyric poets are written in a dialect very similar to Homer, and it might be profitable to lump them together, along with other early (Lyric) poetry (like Sappho and Alcaeus), which logically go with them, even if linguistically different (but different also from Attic). Hence the name “Homeric Greek and early Greek poetry”.
The vote is very close and I now regret voting for both “Homeric Greek” and “Homeric Greek and early Greek poetry”!
