| 520 | |a The present article demonstrates the structural unity of the Allegories of the Iliad and Allegories of the Odyssey written by John Tzetzes. A particular set of images recurs in key parts of the work tracing the overall structure of a unitary poem: the "Homeric Allegories". The images can be found at the beginning of the Prolegomena to the Allegories of the Iliad, in the Introduction to the Allegories of the Odyssey and in the conclusion of the Allegories of the Odyssey; these images consist of references from Herodotus, stories of famous engineers and sea images/with maritime settings. Τhey also serve different purposes: the sea refers to the classical image of Homer as the ocean, while the engineer represents the writer. It is impossible to know whether Tzetzes planned the Homeric Allegories as a unitary work from the beginning, but the second half of the work, the Allegories of the Odyssey, was certainly written as a conclusion to the Allegories of the Iliad. | ||
