A New Interpretation of Hesiod, Catalogue of Women fr. 75.13–25 MW

Key Points

The analysis challenges the traditional understanding of Schoeneus' speech in Hesiod, suggesting significant reinterpretations.
Key evidence includes a proposed supplement to line 18, enhancing the connection to Iliadic parallels in the text.
The paper identifies lines 23-25 as a distinct ‘Beinahe-Episode’, providing a fresh perspective on the narrative voice.
This reinterpretation may reshape our understanding of narrative techniques in ancient Greek poetry, highlighting unseen complexities.

Abstract

Abstract It has been taken for granted that in Hesiod fr. 75 MW (= PSI II 130 column I) Schoeneus’ speech includes ll. 13-25 and is continued in the missing lines. In this article, I challenge this communis opinio by making two points. First, in light of two Iliadic parallels, I suggest supplementing εἰ μέν κε(ν) at the beginning of l. 18. Second, I argue that ll. 23-25 represent a hitherto unrecognized ‘Beinahe-Episode’, which is spoken in the voice of the primary narrator.
