520    In recent decades, the evidence for an oral epic tradition
       in ancient Greece has grown enormously along with our ever
       -increasing awareness of worldwide oral traditions. John 
       Foley here examines the artistic implications that oral 
       tradition holds for the understanding of the Iliad and 
       Odyssey in order to establish a context for their original
       performance and modern-day reception. In Homer's 
       Traditional Art, Foley addresses three crucially 
       interlocking areas that lead us to a fuller appreciation 
       of the Homeric poems. He first explores the reality of 
       Homer as their actual author, examining historical and 
       comparative evidence to propose that "Homer" is a 
       legendary and anthropomorphic figure rather than a real-
       life author. He next presents the poetic tradition as a 
       specialized and highly resonant language bristling with 
       idiomatic implication. Finally, he looks at Homer's 
       overall artistic achievement, showing that it is best 
       evaluated via a poetics aimed specifically at works that 
       emerge from oral tradition. Along the way, Foley offers 
       new perspectives on such topics as characterization and 
       personal interaction in the epics, the nature of 
       Penelope's heroism, the implications of feasting and 
       lament, and the problematic ending of the Odyssey. His 
       comparative references to the South Slavic oral epic open 
       up new vistas on Homer's language, narrative patterning, 
       and identity. Homer's Traditional Art represents a 
       disentangling of the interwoven strands of orality, 
       textuality, and verbal art. It shows how we can learn to 
       appreciate how Homer's art succeeds not in spite of the 
       oral tradition in which it was composed but rather through
       its unique agency.
