Oral-Formulaic Theory: Annotated Bibliography

Willem A.A. van Otterlo "Eine merkwürdige Kompositionsform der älteren griechischen Literatur." Mnemosyne, 3deg. ser., 12:192-207.

Along with van Otterlo 1944a, this study stands as a primary influence on later investigations of ring-structure (e.g., C. Whitman 1958, Gaisser 1969b, Niles 1979). Examples drawn primarily from Homer and Hesiod.
