This looks very good; not sure if I can find issues but I will try. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 16:50, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you -- looking forward to working together. UndercoverClassicist T·C 18:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • unless possessed of special powers, – maybe write "unless they possess special powers"?
  • Now, as Keyser [de] has already noted – "Kayser"?
  • During the false account Odysseus tells of his voyage to Ithaca to the swineherd Eumaeus in Odyssey 14 – This is a bit difficult to read. Maybe "During the false account that Odysseus tells the swineherd Eumaeus of his voyage to Ithaca in Odyssey 14"?
  • Jørgensen's law is not universally followed in Homeric poetry, though most apparent exceptions can be explained away or follow other conventions of Homeric narration – "away" sounds a bit colloquial to me, maybe just remove that word?
    • Not sure it is, at least in the sources I read, and there's a distinction of meaning: "explained" means "we know why the law is broken", "explained away" means "when we look deeper, we realise there's no break at all". UndercoverClassicist T·C 19:48, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some nitpicks on the Biography (optional):

  • consider using proper ISBN formatting with hyphens using an ISBN converter.
  • Jørgensen, Ove (1904). "Das Auftreten der Goetter in den Buechern ι–μ der Odyssee" – I am pretty sure the spelling has to be "Götter" and "Büchern". The original is fully capitalized, where ü becomes UE and ö becomes OE. When writing the title without such capitalization, UE should become ü and OE should become ö.
  • de Jong 2010, p. 260–261. – should be "pp."
