 Homer's Iliad and the Catalog of Ships
An intermediate theory is that the catalogue developed through a process of accretion during the poem's oral transmission and reflects gradual inclusion of the homelands of local sponsors by individual singers[citation needed].
In the most recent extended study of the Catalogue, Edzard Visser, of the University of Basel, concludes that the Catalogue is compatible with the rest of the Iliad in its techniques of verse improvisation, that the order of the names is meaningful and that the geographical epithets evince concrete geographical knowledge.

 Catalogue of Ships - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the debate since antiquity over the Catalogue of Ships, the core question has concerned the extent of historical credibility of the account, whether it was written by Homer himself, whether it reflects a pre-Homeric document or memorized tradition, surviving perhaps from Mycenaean times, or whether it is a result of post-Homeric development.
W. Minton places the catalogue within similar "enumerations" in Homer and Hesiod, and suggests that part of their purpose was to impress the audience with a display of the performer's memory.
Instead the catalogue portrays a loose union of city-states ruled by hereditary families under the hegemony of the king of Mycenae.

 Catalogue of Women - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Catalogue of Women (Greek: γυναικῶν κατάλογος, gynaikōn katalogos) is an epic of ancient Greek literature.
Book 5 was different, and may originally have been a separate poem: it consisted a nearly 200-line catalogue of the suitors of Helen, similar in style to the catalogue of ships in Iliad book 2, and probably led into an account of the beginning of the Trojan War (perhaps even leading directly into the Cypria).
The Catalogue was extremely influential in the Hellenistic period.

Matro’s poems are constructed primarily out of Homeric lines which have been altered to serve new, distinctly comic purposes, and the fragments thus provide important evidence for the late classical reception of epic poetry.
The two sections of Homer that Matro parodies far and away most frequently are the Catalogue of Ships in Il.
Beyond this, his allusions are overwhelmingly Iliadic and are confined almost exclusively to the Doloneia; the section of the poem now known as Book 16; and the final portion, in which Achilleus confronts and kills Hektor, and Patroklos is buried and Hektor mourned.

 Iliad Summary
Although this catalogue is an excellent example of the art of the oral poet, it is difficult going for the modern reader who knows little or nothing of the peoples and places mentioned.
In essence, it is a list of all the Achaean chieftains who came to fight the Trojans, along with the number of ships each one brought.
Book 13: There is desperate fighting along the Greek ships drawn up on the beach; the ships are important because they are the Greeks' means of returning home: If they are burned, the Greeks will be stranded, and probably defeated and slain.

These ships, 30 under contract and 15 more acquired on the open market, were needed in the American merchant fleet which was undergoing a significant expansion after our entry into the Great War in 1917.
For ships built under contract, one ton of steel was provided for each two deadweight tons of newlyconstructed tonnage.
The result of the contracts going to yards which were already producing a variety of ships was the creation of almost as many USSB ship types as ships, a minor problem which was offset by a tight production timetable which enabled some of the ships to go into service before the end of the war.

To Homer's contemporaries, each soldier that is mentioned in the catalogue would have been recognizable as a hero specific to the city from which he came, complete with his own stories of daring and bravery.
Another reason that, as readers, we find the catalogue boring is that we do not think of the effort required for a poet to remember the dauntingly large list of names and locations that make up the Catalogue of Ships.
Through the catalogue, however, Homer is able to convey a sense of this event for his audience.

In creating this list, and many others that appear in his writings, Thoreau was working within a little-recognized yet ancient literary tradition: the practice of listing or cataloguing.
This beautifully written book is the first to examine literary lists and the remarkably wide range of ways writers use them.
Robert Belknap first examines lists through the centuries—from Sumerian account tablets and Homer’s catalogue of ships to Tom Sawyer’s earnings from his fence-painting scheme—then focuses on lists in the works of four American Renaissance authors: Emerson, Whitman, Melville, and Thoreau.
