The Art of the Iliad

Martin West suggested decades ago that maybe Homer didn't finish the epic. He said he could have gone on until the death of Achilles. So do you buy that? Well, in fact, we do have a manuscript or two in which the last line of the Iliad as we have it is followed by another line suggesting,. well, then the Amazons came in and the whole battle with the Amazon started another legendary episode in Greek mythology. That in a nutshell to me is the art of theIliad.
