About this document
Origins of Homeric Verse Metrics by JP Conchon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This thesis examines the origins and development of Greek hexameter poetry through a cognitive linguistic approach. It provides an overview of previous theories on the protohistory of Greek epic metre and the placement of caesurae in Homeric verse. The author then develops a cognitive analysis of archaisms and innovations in Homeric caesurae patterns. The goal is to gain new insights into the early history of Greek epic metre.
