Description:	Whether readers of or listeners to Homer’s epic songs,1 we have all observed the frequency with which Homer’s characters speak in their own voices, the sustained nature of their speaking turns, and the liveliness of their presentation.2 Long after we have put the book aside, long after the performance is over, the words of Achilleus, Priam, Andromache, Hektor, Odysseus, Penelope, and Helen ring in ourears and linger in our memories. And yet, until recently, this body of character-text,3 for all its power, has not received the same focused scholarly attention that has been accorded to Homer’s formulaic language or, especially, his typical scenes, in the years that have elapsed since Milman Parry and Albert Lord persuaded us that the Iliad and the Odyssey have their origins in an oral tradition
