• Resumen

  • With the assumption that epic poetry is the most complete classical literary genre because it contains themes and hints belonging to other poetic forms - tragedy, comedy, lyric - and prose forms - history, novel, oratory, philosophy - the author has attempted to find out, inside Homeric poems and particularly in the Odyssey, some of the main elements and devices that would have been peculiar, later on, to both Greek and Latin comedies.

    This study is, in a certain sense, parallel to another one by the same author (Epos e tragedia, "Vich." 3° s., 4, 1993, pp. 174-196), where the elements and the "tragic" structures in epic poetry, and especially in Homer, were examined.
