This volume takes as its focus an oft-neglected work of ancient philosophy: Aristotle's lostHomeric Problems. The evidence for this lost work consists mostly of 'fragments' surviving in the Homericscholia- comments in the margins of the medieval manuscripts of the Homeric epics, mostly coming from lost commentaries on these epics - though the series of studies presented here puts forward a persuasive case that other sources have been overlooked.

These studies focus on various aspects of theHomeric Problemsand are grouped into three parts. The first deals with preliminary issues: the relationship of this lost work to the Homeric scholarship that came before it, and to Aristotle's comments on Homeric scholarship in his extantPoetics; the evidence concerning the possible titles of this work; and a neglected early edition of the fragments. Following on from this, the second part attempts to expand our knowledge of theHomeric Problemsthrough an examination in context of quotations from (or allusions to) Homer in Aristotle's extant works, and specifically in theHistory of Animals, theRhetoric, andPoetics21, while Part Three consists of four studies on select (and in most cases disregarded) fragments. Collectively the chapters support the conclusion that Aristotle in theHomeric Problemsaimed to defend Homer against his critics, but not slavishly and without employing allegorical interpretation; within the context of a renewed interest in Aristotle's lost works, the volume as a whole brings much needed illumination to a virtually unknown ancient work involving not one but two giants of the classical world.
