Casey Dué, coeditor of the Homer Multitext, explores both the traditionality and multiformity of the Iliad. Dué argues this multiform nature gives us glimpses of the very long history of the text, access to even earlier Iliads, and a greater awareness of the mechanisms by which such a remarkable epic poem could be composed in performance.
