The Homeric Text

June 13, 2011 by John Bremer
The conventional text of Homers ILIAD and its adjustment for the proposed Panathenaic text.
The received Homeric text of the Iliad (as in the Oxford Classical Texts series, edited by Monro and Allen) contains 15693 lines,
distributed as follows:
Book 1
611 lines
Book 13
837
Book 2
877
Book 14

Book 3

Richmond Lattimore for his translation of the Iliad used this Greek text with two exceptions. His Book 11 had 847 lines and his Book 18
had 616 lines; these two one-line differences mean that his total text had 15691 lines, not the 15693 of the OCT.
Resolving this text into 45 cantos, each of 300 lines, is accomplished by removing lines or passages deemed spurious or interpolations
by various critics and editors, both ancient and modern. The largest of the excisions is, obviously, Book 10, the so-called Doloneia. The
complete list of excisions and transpositions is as follows (all numbers inclusive):
Book 1.

lines.
