in the texts
Orations
Homer's epic poem, known by heart by the Borysthenites and used as a standard of poetic worth.
But are not these verses, for those who hear not carelessly, worth a whole Iliad and Odyssey?
And in other respects no longer clearly speaking Greek, through dwelling in the midst of the barbarians, nonetheless well-nigh all of them know the Iliad by heart.
Ansāb al-ʻArab al-qudamāʼ
Homer's epic, adduced as the standard case of a text full of gods and legends that scholars nevertheless mine for history.
For what is in the Iliad of Homer of the reports of the gods and their legends did not hinder the scholars from sifting it and distinguishing within it between history, religion and legend.
Symposium
One of the Homeric poems memorized by Niceratus.
and so even now I can repeat the whole Iliad and the Odyssey by heart.
