Epimerismi Homerici, Grammatical Scholia on Homer

2 works

Epimerismi Homerici are word-by-word grammatical analyses of Homeric diction, a Byzantine teaching form that parses each lemma (epimerismos) rather than offering a running literary commentary. Andrew R. Dyck edited the corpus in the Sammlung griechischer und lateinischer Grammatiker (Berlin: De Gruyter, 1983): the epimerisms on Iliad 1 and the related scholia-epimerisms (D-scholia).

The TLG heading dates the compilation around the ninth century. The material draws on older Homeric scholia and the grammatical tradition of Herodian and Choeroboscus. Two works sit in the slot: the epimerisms proper (TLG 5004.001) and the D-scholia epimerisms (5004.002).

Readers open it for Homeric school grammar — morphology, accent, and glosses keyed to Iliad 1 — not for an unnamed grammarian’s life. The Dyck page is the modern edition of record.
