Abstract

Analysis of function and meaning of the Funeral Games in the Iliad. Book 23, although marking a deliberate contrast with both the preceding and the following one, is connected to the rest of the poem by a number of thematic links: this rules out the possibility that it did not belong to the original narration of Achilles’ deeds.
