Book Description

Excerpt from A Grammar of the Homeric Dialect The last chapter contains a discussion of the Metre of Homer (chapter XIV), and of some points of 'phonology' which (for us at least) are ultimately metrical questions. Chief among these is the famous question of the Digamma. I have endeavoured to state the main issues which have been raised on this subject as fully as possible: but without much hope of bringing them to a satisfactory decision.
