Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 February 2009

Extract

In his new edition of II. i.-xii. Prof, van Leeuwen takes áμóv in Z 414, ή τoι γàρ φατέῤ άμòν άφέκτανε δîoς ‘ΑΧιλλεὐς, as = nostrum, i.e. meum et meorum fratrum, adding that the plural used for the singular is alien to epic practice. He refers to A 30, B 486, T 440, H 196, © 360, K 448, N 257, O 224, II 244, Σ 197, T 402, φ;60, 432, ψ84, 413, α 10, β 77 sq., K 99, 334, 525, λ 33, 166, 481, v 358, π300, 442, σ 247, ψ139. The point has often been discussed by commentators and grammarians, but generally with only one or two references, and an obiter dictum thereon.
