Greek Audience Deemed Sensible By WILMA FOSTER Homer presented his poems be fore learned and well-informed au diences, was the conclusion drawn by Dr. F. M. Combellack, profes sor of Greek and Latin, in the second faculty lecture of the term. Evidence of this is shown in Homer’s illusive references to what must be well-known events. In adidtion many poets preceded him and the audience undoubtedly was one who not only knew the outline but some of the details. Another evidence is his use of foreshadowing coming events which some believe to be a means he used to bring out interest. Ur. Combellack pointed out that in the case of Hephistopheles, there would be no such interested creat ed because he had barely been mentioned previous to the inter est arousing statement. Another argument he brought out was whether the use of tra ditional material instead of orig inal stories detracts from his greatness. He believes it adds to it because he selected what he wanted and expanded, organized and emphasized what he chose in an expert manner. One must either accept the de tails as having artistic purpose or abandon the fact that refer ences were made for effect, he said.
