Abstract

Abstract The Homeric narrator's celebrated reticence about his own person, work, and aspirations has led scholars to call him modest. In this paper I argue that there are enough implicit or indirect signs which point at a Homeric narrator himself aspiring to kleos, just like the heroes he celebrates.
