	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.47
		Nagy introduces a new terminology, horizontal and vertical variants, referring to different readings and variations in the number of verses respectively, and finds that especially in the question of vertical variants Aristarchus must have made his decisions on the basis of manuscripts.
		Nagy criticizes West for positing an oral original of the Iliad, considering this a contradiction in terms, and dismisses his idea of a distinction between a creative oral tradition and the reproductive tradition of the Homeric rhapsodes as arbitrary and artificial.
		Nagy states that oral traditions may be relatively more or less multiform, but he does not discuss which parameters are at work, for instance social factors such as the status and training of singers, performance conditions, nature of the audiences, secular or cultic functions, or intrinsic characteristics such as metre or music.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 02.01.13
		Nagy uses Pindar as his main example throughout since Pindar is the latest of the lyric poets in the Alexandrian canon and, perhaps even more importantly, because of the metrical and thematic affinities Nagy finds between Pindar and epos (pp.
		Similarly, the metrical affinities that Nagy isolates between the Homeric hexameter and the diachronically later song (lyric) tradition of Pindar suggest to him that undifferentiated SONG was a kind of well-spring from which all (archaic, at least) Greek poetry in some sense derives.
		But Nagy himself seems to be aware that he cannot be telling the whole story, that the evidence for the archaic period is often sketchy, particularly in matters of social history, and that his work will need further refinement here and there.

	Greek Literature
		Gregory Nagy is Professor of Classics at Harvard University and Director of the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, D.C. He has written and edited numerous books on Greek literature, including Homeric Questions, The Everyman's Library The Iliad, Greek Mythology and Poetics, and Poetry as Performance.
		Nagy (1999, article 19 in volume 1) has proposed an alternative model that does not require a simultaneous link between oral composition and written text; if this model turns out to be valid, then Janko's relative chronology for the transcription of both the Homeric and the Hesiodic tradition needs to be revised.
		Greek Literature: Volume 7: Greek Literature in the Hellenistic Period selected and introduced by Gregory Nagy (Garland Routledge) Greek literature in the Hellenistic period, as represented primarily by the scholar poets of the new city‑state Alexandria, is well known for its formalism an stylization (a premier study is that of Bundy 1972, article 1).

	The Oberlin Review Online
		In “Art and its Attractions,” Nagy explored the intertwining garlands of the poetry of Sappho and Homer, connecting the floral ornamentations on robes of archaic master-weavers with the olive flowers and myrtle blossoms that decorate Homer’s narration of the death of a Greek hero.
		Nagy continued and completed the metonymic side of the lecture with discussions of poetic reverence for heroes and for the dead, connecting the Homeric example of the beautifully fallen hero with Sappho’s and Catullus’s love poems for seemingly unattainable heroes of their own.
		Nagy’s presence and his lectures sparked thought and discussion among students and faculty alike at a Monday night reception after the first Martin lecture.

	The New York Review of Books: PERFORMING HOMER
		Nagy's two recent books are concerned a great deal with variant versions of the Homeric and other poems, and reading his letter above I began to wonder if there hadn't been delivered to him a variant edition of the November 20th New York Review of Books.
		As a reconstructive method, then, Nagy's "system" of oral poetics allows him both to be charitable to his own ideas and to evade counter-evidence —which is to say that it is a bad method.
		Nagy responded in a letter to the editor, saying among other things: "I think that [West] is unfair…when she proceeds to dispute me on the basis of her assumptions concerning the earlier stages of [Homeric traditions in performance].

		In Pindar's Homer, Nagy is not out to argue that Greek lyric is the ``same'' as epic, that it is ``oral'' in the same sense asHomer, that lyric poets didn't use writing or couldn't express their private thoughts.
		In other words, both historia and the ainos are discourses that judge, moralize and often warn obliquely rather than straightforwardly (a quick example from Herodotus: Solon ``does not tell Croesus directly what we find him teaching in his own poetry, that ate is brought about by hybris'' [262]).
		Nagy, of course, began developing the technical underpinnings of his ideas on archaic poetry in Comparative Studies in Greek and Indic Meter (1974), but it wasn't until The Best of the Achaeans that we found him articulating (to a wider audience in particular) the larger ramifications of the earlier work.

	Best of the Achaeans
		In this revised edition, which features a new preface by the author, Gregory Nagy reconsiders his conclusions in the light of the subsequent debate and resumes his discussion of the special status of heroes in ancient Greek life and poetry.
		His book remains an engaging introduction both to the concept of the hero in Hellenic civilization and to the poetic forms through which the hero is defined: the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" in particular and archaic Greek poetry in general.
		Gregory Nagy's book is brilliant, original, and filled with powerful, central, and useful insights.

	Lamplighter: Greek Literature Goes Live
		Nagy explains that this transformation from oral history to written history meant that knowledge could be conveyed to people at a distance.
		Given his deep appreciation of transforming knowledge from one form to another, and from one place to another, it should not be surprising that Nagy's spring course, CLAS E-115/W Introduction to Greek Literature: Concepts of the Hero in the Classical Period, is the first Extension School humanities course to be offered by distance education.
		An integral part of Nagy's course, and a significant difference between this course and the computer science courses that the Extension School has been offering on the Internet, is the extensive dialogues among the professor, the teaching fellows, and the students that take place during the lectures.

		In this innovative investigation, Gregory Nagy applies the insights of comparative linguistics and anthropology to offer a new historical model for understanding how, when, where, and why the Iliad and the Odyssey were ultimately preserved as written texts that could be handed down over two millennia.
		His model draws on the comparative evidence provided by living oral epic traditions, in which each performance of a song often involves a recomposition of the narrative.
		This evidence suggests that the written texts emerged from an evolutionary process in which composition, performance, and diffusion interacted to create the epics we know as the Iliad and the Odyssey.

		To Harvard classicist Gregory Nagy, the man we call "Homer" is a myth.
		The most influential Homer scholar of our generation is Gregory Nagy, Francis Jones Professor of Classical Greek Literature at Harvard University and director of the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington D.C. Nagy has permanently changed our understanding of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
		No longer can we think of them as ancient "novels" written by an author named Homer; rather, these epics began as a diverse group of poems, which were passed down from generation to generation by rhapsodes (oral poets) over a period lasting more than a thousand years.
