APPUNTI PER UNA STORIA DELL’“IMPERFEZIONE” DI OMERO

Abstract


This paper sketches out a history of ancient and modern discussions on the aesthetic “imperfection” of the

will be examined, as well as more recent evaluations of the Homeric poems. A passing comment by U. Eco
will also inspire some reflections.
