	Aristarchus of Samos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Aristarchus is known to have the first proponent of the heliocentric hypothesis, with the Earth ascribed a movement of orbital rotation about the Sun, as well as a daily axial rotation.
		Aristarchus argued that the lack of observed annual parallax in the fixed stars could be explained, within his heliocentric model, by assuming that the distance to the fixed stars is very much larger than the size of the Earth's orbit.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.09.12
		Aristarchus' rigorous analysis of Homeric poetry as a system was monumentalized by his reputation as an "analogist," in opposition to an "anomalist" like his contemporary, Crates of Mallos, who was head of the Library of Pergamon (Varro, De lingua latina 8.23).
		Aristarchus' own belief was probably similar to West's, to the extent that he too posited a written text produced by the prototypical poet.
		Aristarchus' procedure concerning deleted ("omitted") verses, as distinct from athetized verses, was not subjective: it depended on external evidence, and on the application of formal criteria to that external evidence.

	Aristarchus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Instead I decided to write an essay on a figure in astronomy you mentioned last time, Aristarchus of Samos (not to be confused with the somewhat later scholar Aristarchus of Samothrace, who was librarian at Alexandria).
		Aristarchus' place in the pantheon of eminent astronomers is well-earned, his having been the first to calculate the relative distances of the sun and moon from the earth as well as the relative sizes of these three bodies.
		Some of my sources, though acknowledging that some opposition to Aristarchus' views stemmed from philosophical or religious predjudice, take care to point out that not all opposition was of this nature and that there were reasonable scientific grounds -- at least in terms of the known science of the time -- for rejecting Aristarchus' hypothesis.

		The second chapter ("Accentuation, Aspiration, Dialect, Word-break, and Minor Horizontal Variation") presents the very small-scale observations of the ancient Homeric scholar Herodian, who treated accentuation and aspiration, and onomatopoeia, as questions of ear and not of reading eye.
		The third chapter ("Aural Punctuation") turns to the scholar Nicanor, who endeavors to initiate the reader into the subtleties of delivery, particularly with respect to the phrasing of the dactylic hexameter; here it becomes clear that he reproduces a system of virtual (or non-visual) punctuation originally devised by Aristarchus (2nd C BC).
		The argument as a whole is grounded in oral-poetic theory, including narratology (well developed in Homeric scholarship) and speech-act theory (on which my advisor is the preëminent expert), and measures its findings against what little can be discerned of earlier performance of Homer in pre-Hellenistic Greece.

	Style: Revisiting the deconstruction of narratology: master tropes of narrative embedding and symmetry
		The historical provenance of ring composition, a narrative master trope in its own right, depends on the rhetorical trope chiasmus.
		Van Otterlo, Whitman, and H. Ward Tonsfeldt acknowledged the structural dependence of ring composition on the Homeric formula long called hysteron proteron, or "last first." (Whitman in fact preferred the cumbersome Hellenic term to "ring" or "frame.") Again, this was a feature of Homer's poetry well noted by Aristarchus of Samothrace.
		Hermogenes of Tarsus, the most eminent rhetorician of the second century, in turn employed the rhetorical term chiasmus for the first time to designate symmetrical syntax characteristic of Homeric poetry and public oratory.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.05.07
		Most of Virgil's formulas echo Homer's style but not his content.
		Virgil uses them, suggests Sale, not so much to imitate Homer as to tell the essential and traditional truths that formulas were thought to convey (a notion dating from Aristarchus of Samothrace).
		Though some aspects of Virgil's formulaic economy are unhomeric (many different formulas have the same metre and syntax, some violating metrical economy), he does employ them with considerable consistency in other respects.
