PREFACE
Apollonius' poem is in sore need of a fresh tnJection of comparative
material. I offer here a set of phraseological and ( chiefly for the less
familiar books 1-2) thematic correspondences drawn from the confined but
crucial area of epic from Homer to Panyasis, with the inclusion of
Stesichorus. I have devoted some space to phonetic reminiscences and
general similarities of form, but have not thought it desirable to add to the
bulk of an already unwieldy collection by listing individual words with
their location in the verse; most would in any case be better served by col-
lective analysis.
The following abbreviations may be noted:
