Machine Learning and the Future of Philology: A Case Study
This paper argues that machine learning (ML) has a role to play in the future of philology, understood here as a discipline concerned with preserving and elucidating the global archive of premodern texts. We offer one initial case study in order to outline broader possibilities for the field. The argument is in four parts. First, we offer a brief introduction to the history of classical philology, focusing on the development of three technologies: writing, printing, and digitizing. We evaluate their impact and emphasize some elements of continuity in philological practice. Second, we describe Logion, an ML model we are currently developing to support various philological tasks, such as making conjectures to fill lacunae, identifying scribal errors, and proposing emendations. In part three, we present some of the results achieved to date in editing the work of the Byzantine author Michael Psellos. Finally, we build on the specific case study presented (part three), as well as our more general considerations on philology (part one) and ML (part two), in order to shed light on current challenges and future opportunities for the global archive of premodern texts.

Homer
In this accessible and concise introduction, Barbara Graziosi considers Homer's famous works and their impact on readers throughout the centuries. She shows how the Iliad and the Odyssey benefit from a tradition of reading that spans well over two millennia, from the impressive scholars at the library of Alexandria, in the third and second centuries BCE, who wrote some of the first commentaries on the Homeric epics. Summaries of these scholars' notes made their way into the margins of Byzantine manuscripts; from Byzantium the annotated manuscripts travelled to Italy; and the ancient notes finally appeared in the first printed editions of Homer, eventually influencing our interpretation of Homer's work today. Along the way, Homer's works have inspired artists, writers, philosophers, musicians, playwrights, and film-makers. Exploring the main literary, historical, cultural, and archaeological issues at the heart of Homer's works, Graziosi analyses the enduring appeal of Homer and his iconic works.

Homer : the resonance of epic
This book offers a new approach to the study of Homeric epic by combining ancient Greek perceptions of Homer with up-to-date scholarship on traditional poetry. Part I argues that, in the archaic period, the Greeks saw the lliad and Odyssey neither as literary works in the modern sense nor as the products of oral poetry. Instead, they regarded them as belonging to a much wider history of the divine cosmos, whose structures and themes are reflected in the resonant patterns of Homer's traditional language and narrative techniques. Part II illustrates this claim by looking at some central aspects of the Homeric poems: the gods and fate, gender and society, death, fame and poetry. Each section shows how the patterns and preoccupations of Homeric storytelling reflect a historical vision that encompasses the making of the universe, from its beginnings when Heaven mated with Earth, to the present day.

Iliad, book VI
\"The sixth book of the Iliad includes some of the most memorable and best-loved episodes in the whole poem: it holds meaning and interest for many different people, not just students of ancient Greek. Book 6 describes how Glaukos and Diomedes, though fighting on opposite sides, recognise an ancient bond of hospitality and exchange gifts on the battlefield. It then follows Hector as he enters the city of Troy and meets the most important people in his life: his mother, Helen and Paris, and finally his wife and baby son. It is above all through the loving and fraught encounter between Hector and Andromache that Homer exposes the horror of war. This edition is suitable for undergraduates at all levels, and students in the upper forms of schools. The Introduction requires no knowledge of Greek and is intended for all readers interested in Homer\"-- Provided by publisher.

El autor en la critica homerica antigua y moderna: Algunas consideraciones
En este artículo discuto las conexiones entre el poeta, los personajes y los lectores. Mi enfoque se funda en lo siguiente: ¿Cómo se imaginan los lectores al autor, cómo imagina el autor a los personajes y de qué modo los lectores son inspirados por los personajes? He seleccionado ejemplos de la tradición homérica y, más específicamente, de algunas estrategias de interpretación en la exégesis antigua, particularmente lo que se ha dado en denominar \"soluciones desde el personaje\", para proponer vinculaciones con la interpretación literaria y la crítica textual moderna.

Tombs of the ancient poets : between literary reception and material culture
Drawing together a range of examples, this volume explores the tombs of the ancient poets - real or otherwise - in the ancient cultural imagination, and the ways in which they act as crucial sites for the reception of Greek and Latin poetry, uniquely positioned as they are between literary reception and material culture.

The Iliad
\"War, glory, despair and mourning: for 2700 years the Iliad has gripped listeners and hearers with the story of Achilles' anger and Hector's death. This tragic episode during the siege of Troy, sparked by a quarrel between the leader of the Greek army and its mightiest warrior, Achilles, is played out between mortals and gods, with devastating human consequences. It is a story of many truths, speaking of awesome emotions, the quest for fame and revenge, the plight of women, and the lighthearted laughter of the gods. Above all, it confronts us with war in all its brutality - and with fleeting images of peace, which punctuate the poem as distant memories, startling comparisons, and doomed aspuirations. ...\"--Jacket.
