Conclusions

The conclusions include a brief reconstruction of each cyclic epic, with emphasis on points suggested by the arguments in each chapter. Comparison of the cyclic epics among themselves shows that catalogues and doublets were especially important compositional elements. Two-fold structure in particular seems to have been highly characteristic of poems of medium length, with smaller elements such as the aristeia being used to reinforce large-scale structure. Character roles, divine activity, and thematic correlations were used to bring unity to the more compendious poems. Comparison of cyclic epics with the Homeric poems shows that the crucial difference lies in the function of shared compositional devices relative to the overall scale of poems. Devices that are used to structure relatively small parts of the Homeric poems could be used to construct very large portions of shorter epics, if not entire poems.
