Abstract
- The article offers criticism on Greek author Eustathius' texts analyzing Homeric epics, suggesting that the texts actively instruct readers in using Homeric texts as orators and speechwriters. Specific topics include Eustathian scholar Marchinus van der Valk, instructions on using Homeric quotation, and Eustathius' instructions on using poetry in prose speeches.
