🕸️Meg Conley @pocketobservatory.org · 24/07/2026Precisely. I tried to explain this to someone by comparing it to the word “food.” Like, that category encompasses many things that are very different from one another + have very different origins, impacts, interactions, etc. It helped them understand…kind of. I need to think of a better comparison. 150

Homeric Greek is an artificial poetic, traditional language, developed over generations of poetic storytelling and fusing different dialects and eras - not a language that anyone ever spoke. It works beautifully for traditional spoken-word poetry, but it's quite unsuitable for a film script. 167342

Euripides adapted the end of the Iliad for the Athenian tragic stage using a different meter and different lexicon from Homer's, for a different genre and a different time. That's fine! 272939
