Since Ameis-Hentze-Cauer (1868-1913) no comprehensive, scholarly commentary of Homer’s Iliad has been published in German. In the meantime considerable progress has been made in many traditional areas of Homeric studies (language, realia, structure etc.). In addition, generally acknowledged new fields such as narratology have been systematically studied. Furthermore, the knowledge of the Mycenaean language (Linear B) and oral poetry provide completely new possibilities of textual constitution and analysis. Using the old Ameis-Hentze-Cauer as a starting point, the new commentary reflects the current scholarship on Homer in a comprehensive way. As a new standard work, the “Basel Commentary” of the Iliad has received considerable recognition among scholars worldwide. The fresh concept in terms of content and form serves the needs of different groups of users. The commentary primarily aims at students and academic teachers (at schools and universities), not only of Classics but also of cultural and literary studies as well as of humanities in general.

Marina Coray, Martha Krieter-Spiro and Edzard Visser, University of Basel, Switzerland.

"First things first: this volume is invaluable. Like the others in the series, it is thorough, careful, judicious, and, most importantly, helpful. [...] No one can deny the immense value of the Basel Commentary; it will stand for generations as the go-to source for scholars and advanced students, a place to at least start one's investigations."
