Abstract

A new law of tonal prominence for Greek serves as a guide to explore the texture and cadences of Homeric poetry, and begins to reveal the characteristic music of the hexameter. Everywhere in the structure of cadence-turn-cadence there is evidence of choice, belying a role for inherited formulas in a supposed oral composition.
