Nestor and his Twin

Résumé

As its title suggests, Douglas Frame's Hippota Nestor is of course about Nestor, but the book covers a much larger scope that includes composition, performance, and the dissemination of Homeric poetry. Through a thorough analysis of Nestor as a character, many other subjects come into play, some of which have gone unnoticed even by experienced scholars. The book's structure is complex for reasons amply justified by the author. The text itself is divided into five well-balanced parts: Nestor's Indo-European Background, Nestor's Homeric Role, Athens, Ionia, and Pylos.

Due to the breadth of topics covered, substantial content can also be found in the endnotes after each part, as well as in the extensive footnotes in each chapter. This dual set of notes is very helpful for readers that have further interest in any specific aspect of a given chapter. That is to say that nothing goes undocumented in this book. For all these reasons-the thorough research surrounding Nestor as a character, and the scale and complexity of its construction-this work is mainly intended for an audience of well-informed researchers in the field.
