Summary
The present volume on relative chronology in early Greek epic poetry originates from a conference under the same heading which was organized at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in Oslo in the summer of 2006, with generous financial support from the Academy and from the Ludvig Holberg Memorial Fund and with a contribution from the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas at the University of Oslo. At the conference, a dozen of invited and a score of other papers were given, on both literary and linguistic aspects of the problem, leading to much fruitful discussion. The editors are pleased to present this selection of essays to a wider audience.
The editors wish to express their sincere thanks to their co-organizer of the conference, Anastasia Maravela, who also contributed substantially to the early stages of the work on the present volume. They also wish to thank Pål Rykkja Gilbert for valuable assistance in the final stages of the work.
