12、and his works and answer the questions below.The Iliad,as we know it today,consists of 15,693 lines of poetry.We call it an epic(poem)because of its length and because it tells a dramatic story about gods and heroes from long ago.Yet,the Iliad is based on a historical event,and archaeologists:kldsts
13、 have even identified an actual site of where it took placeTroy tr.This city flourishedflrit(繁荣；昌盛；繁荣；昌盛；兴旺兴旺)during the Mycenaean maisini:n Age(迈锡尼时代迈锡尼时代),a time of palaces and wealth in ancient Greece.Around the 12th century BCE,Troy was destroyed,along with many other palace-centres.Sometime in
14、the 8th century BCE,the Greeks began to recover,and a new system of writing developed.Around 750 BCE,Homer composed the Iliad and,later,the Odyssey.Both became well known in the ancient world,and,for centuries,the Greeks considered Homer to be their first and best poet.Yet,even in antiquity ntkwti古代
15、古代(尤指古尤指古希腊和古罗马时期希腊和古罗马时期),Homers identity was a mystery.When you read the Iliad,you will soon notice that certain phrases,lines,and even entire sections are repeated.A closer look at the Iliad reveals that certain types of scenes are found again and again.For a long time,scholars were puzzled by th
16、ese repetitions reptnz.Then,in the 1930s,Professor Milman Parry from Harvard made an exciting discovery.He travelled to what was then Yugoslavia南斯拉夫南斯拉夫ju:usl:vj and studied how illiterate ltrt(目不识丁的，文盲目不识丁的，文盲的的)bards(诗人诗人)performed songs from memory.He concluded that Homers poems traced(追溯追溯)their
17、 origin to a similar oral tradition.研究不识字的吟游诗人是如何凭记忆演唱歌曲的。他的结论是，荷马的诗歌起源于一种类似的口头传统。Imagine this:bards are travelling around ancient Greece,singing stories from memory.At each performance,they repeat phrases and lines,because that makes it easier to keep the story going.They also“borrow”ideas from eac
18、h other and,in time(eventually),their verses(诗诗)become more and more alike.Over hundreds of years,countless bards have a hand(角色；作用；影响角色；作用；影响)in shaping these tales until they become the poems we now know as(将将称为；把称为；把叫做叫做)the Iliad and the Odyssey.Today,scholars generally agree that the Iliad and

21、turies of oral poetry?Who first wrote them down?To be sure,the mystery surrounding Homer continues.Yet,what does seem certain is that the Iliad and the Odyssey will continue to be regarded as two of the greatest works of Western literature.1.What does the underlined word“flourished”in the first para
22、graph mean?2.Why are there so many repetitions in the Iliad?“Flourish”means to develop quickly and become successful.There are many repetitions in the Iliad because the epic grew out of an oral tradition.The bards travelled from place to place,singing the stories from memory,and repetitions made it
23、easier to remember the phrases,lines and sections and keep the stories going.Besides,the bards“borrowed”ideas from each other and,in time,their verses became more and more alike.A2.In pairs,role-play an interview between a student and an expert on Homer.Use the example below to help you and pay atte

27、e text was probably developed over the centuries,by different people.A:If that is the case,then surely there must be several versions.B:Youre absolutely right.Already in antiquity,there was a lot of discussion of what the“real”version was.However,if the Iliad was the work of many different bards,the
28、re would never be one single original version to begin with.Its entirely possible that Homer was the person who put various versions of the story together into a larger poem.That would be no mean(了不起的了不起的)feat(功绩功绩;伟业伟业;壮举壮举),if he really was blind and illiterate.no mean高水平的高水平的;上乘的上乘的;优秀的优秀的;了不起的了不
