Among the seventeen articles in this volume, dedicated to Walton Brooks McDaniel, are: â?oLanguage and Characterization in Homer,â? by the late Adam Parry; â?oThe Rhythm of Hesiodâ??s Works and Days,â? by Charles Rowan Beye; â?oPindar Fr. 169,â? by Hugh Lloyd-Jones; and â?oNationality as a Factor in Roman History,â? by F. W. Walbank.
The companion volume of plates is intended as an integral part of the study. It provides the evidence essential for the convincing assignment of hand through copious, detailed photographs of all the inscriptions. The discussion of many of the erasures, superscriptions, broken letters, dittographies, etc., has been written for a reader who has the visual evidence before him, hence the format of a separate volume for the plates was adopted. Harvard Professors studies on various writings.
