	Wikipedia: Homer
		Homer (Greek Όμηρος, Homeros) is the legendary (or perhaps mythical) early Greek poet traditionally credited with authorship of the major Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey, the comic mini-epic Batrachomyomachia ("The Frog-Mouse War"), the corpus of Homeric Hymns, and various other lost or fragmentary works such as Margites.
		Tradition held that Homer was blind, and various Ionian cities claimed to be his birthplace, but otherwise his biography is a blank slate.
		The two epics appear to date back to at least the 8th century BC, and were first written down at the command of the Athenian ruler Pisistratus, who feared they were being forgotten.

		Thus the work predates the editio princeps of the Batrachomyomachia by Carlo Marsuppini (Brescia, probably 1474) by eighteen years, and it follows that Simmaco's is the earliest vernacular translation of a poem in the Homeric corpus; and this, in fact, is not a small title of honour.
		There is irrefutable evidence that Simmaco translated the Batrachomyomachia not directly from a Greek original, but through the Latin translations by Carlo Marsuppini, published in 1474 but written probably in 1429, and M. proves with certainty the dependence of Simmaco on this model (30-31).
		Specifically, Simmaco used both of Marsuppini's Latin translations, the hexametric one and the interlinear one, and M. plausibly argues that a copy of the still unpublished work, sent by Marsuppini to Giovanni Marrasio, arrived in Naples through Leonardo Bruni and the Panormita, who were in touch with Marrasio during their stay in Siena.

		BATRACHOMYOMACHIA : noun literally, "the battle between frogs and mice"; a silly and trifling altercation.
		Sex is merely lust--the batrachomyomachia of the bunghole and battery from which love, apparently, can do anything but shelter one.
		In the days when bless was blaedsian, it meant to smear with blood, as if to recombine things guided apart by fear, the word for which was uggr, or by indignation or even primitive good taste.

	Homer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The comic mini-epic Batrachomyomachia ("The Frog-Mouse War"), the corpus of Homeric Hymns, and various other lost or fragmentary works such as Margites have been attributed to him, but this is now believed to be unlikely.
		A few ancient authors credited him with the entire Epic Cycle, which included further poems on the Trojan War as well as the Theban poems about Oedipus and his sons.
		It has repeatedly been questioned whether the same poet was responsible for both the Iliad and the Odyssey; the Batrachomyomachia, Homeric hymns and cyclic poems are generally agreed to be later than these two epic poems.

	Homer; Sebastien Castellion (1515-1563), ed. & tr., Opera graeco-latina, quae quidem nunc extant, omnia. Hoc est: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This work collects the complete works of Homer, including with shorter works such as the Batrachomyomachia and the hymns, as well as Petrarch's life of Homer.
		The intention of the editor was to provide a faithful copy of the original Greek, along with a faithful Latin translation, not necessarily for scholars but for students and general readers.
		The work was not completed until 1567 when he issued his second volume containing the Odyssey, the Batrachomyomachia, and the hymns.

		Homer (Greek Ὅμηρος Hómēros) was a legendary (or perhaps mythical) early Greek poet and rhapsode traditionally credited with authorship of the major Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey, the comic mini-epic Batrachomyomachia ("The Frog-Mouse War"), the corpus of Homeric Hymns, and various other lost or fragmentary works such as Margites.
		The main works in question are the Odyssey, Batrachomyomachia, and the Homeric hymns.
		It is generally agreed among scholars that the Iliad and Odyssey underwent a process of standardization and refinement out of older material beginning in the 8th century BC.

		Homer is a legendary ancient Greek poet credited with authorship of the major Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey, the comic mini-epic Batrachomyomachia ("The Frog-Mouse War"), the corpus of Homeric Hymns, and various other lost or fragmentary works such as Margites.
		It is also possible he did not exist at all, and that the Homeric epics were the product of many authors.
		Thus they were entrusted with remembering the area's stock of epic poetry, to remember past events, in the times before literacy came to the area.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jacob Balde
		He studies the classics and rhetoric in the Jesuit college of his native town, philosophy and law at the University Ingolstadt, where on 1 July, 1624, he was admitted into the Society of Jesus.
		Having undergone the usual ascetical and literary training he taught classics and rhetoric in the colleges of Munich and Innsbruck, and in his leisure hours composed the Latin mock-heroic poem "Batrachomyomachia" (The Battle of the Frogs and the Mice).
		After completing his theological studies at Ingolstadt, where he was ordained priest in 1633, he was appointed professor of eloquence in the university.

		It was not so difficult to parody the Iliad in the Batrachomyomachia, but no one up till now ever ventured to conceive of a parody of this parody.
		It is of course completely immaterial whether this incredible assembly convenes in Erfurt or whether the Orthodox tsar forbids it, just as immaterial as the protest against its competency which Herr Vogt will doubtless agree to issue with Herr Venedey.
		The Batrachomyomachia (Battle of Frogs and Mice), by an unknown author, was a parody of Homer's Iliad.

	Homer
		(Batrachomyomachia ; The Battle of Frogs and Mice)
		Scholars now unanimously rule out the Homeric Hymns and Batrachomyomachia as later derivative works, and signs of a deep oral tradition behind the Iliad and Odyssey are often taken to cast doubt on the existence of any individual author for them.
		The two epics appear to date back to at least the 8th century BC, and were first written down at the command of the Athenian ruler Peisistratus, who feared they were being forgotten.

		Every fiction should have a moral; and, what is more to the purpose, the critics have discovered that every fiction has.
		Philip Melanchthon, some time ago, wrote a commentary upon the "Batrachomyomachia," and proved that the poet's object was to excite a distaste for sedition.
		Pierre la Seine, going a step farther, shows that the intention was to recommend to young men temperance in eating and drinking.
