| Sumario: | The article discusses the reception of Homer in Hellenistic Alexandria, particularly in the work of Aristarchus of Samothrace. After briefly analyzing the impact of Aristarchus’ edition on the Homeric text that we still read today, it focuses on the method and principles followed by Aristarchus in his work on the Iliad. Through the analysis of some specific examples, it shows how Aristarchus’ own ideas about Homer greatly shaped the Homeric text that he produced; it thus raises the question of the reception of a literary author by philologists and the problems related to it. |
