HOMER: ILIAD

CATALOGUE OF SHIPS

Note: There are many instances of place-names and character names whose spellings are transliterated from the Greek rather than romanized versions, which one are we to use for this text? It matters quite a bit, especially for characters like Aias [Ajax] who is already prominently cited in Apollodorus, for example. For spellings and corrections I was using the following text from Perseus: http://perseus.uchicago.edu/perseus-cgi/citequery3.pl?dbname=GreekFeb2011&getid=2&query=Hom.%20Il.%202

2.490-2.495 - ID599/601, Arkesilaos/Klonios are in group "Boeotian Leaders" (are we to use the Latin forms Arcesilaus/Clonius instead?) "group/character/citation"
2.490-2.510 - Add event "Boeotian Leaders send 50 ships to Troy, each ship contains 120 young Boeotian men" (characters: Peneleos (2), Leitus, Arkesilaos, Prothoenor, Klonios) "event/character/citation"
- ID1308-1313, ID1504-ID1526, "Boeotian Leaders send 50 ships to Troy, Each ship contains…" (correct to lowercase "e", "each ship contains") "event/place"
2.510-2.515 - ID2830, Ares is god father of *blank* (delete record?) "character/character/citation"
2.515-2.525 - ID605-606, Schedius (1) and Epistrophus (1) are in group "Phocaean Leaders" (check spelling with "Phocian", which one do we use?) "group/character/citation"
- ID4217, A bull from Geryon's herd escapes Hercules (doesn't belong in here, delete) "event/character/citation"
2.525-2.535 - ok
2.535-2.545 - ID4220, Abantes Leader sends 50 ships to Troy (text says forty, change to "Abantes Leader sends 40 ships to Troy") "event/character/citation"
- ID1406, ID1543-1549, ibid (ibid) "event/place"
2.545-2.555 - Add relationship: Zeus is god father of Athena "character/character/citation"
2.555 - ID833, Telamon is mortal father of Ajax (2) (doesn't belong in line 2.555. Telamonian Aias [Ajax] is only mentioned in 2.525-2.530.) "character/character/citation"
- Text says "And Aias led from Salamis twelve ships" however he was also cited earlier following the Locrian ships. Is this a different Ajax? If so ought we to add a group for "Leaders of Salamis"?
- ID4225, Ajax sends 12 ships to Troy… (this actually is cited between lines 2.555-2.560; however Nestor and his 50 black ships are cited right on line 2.555, cite this instead and move Ajax's navy to Hom. Il. 2.555-2.565?) "event/character/citation"
- ID1409, ibid (ibid) "event/place"
2.555-2.565 - Add event "Leaders of Argos send 80 ships to Troy" (place: Argos) "event/place"

2.570-2.580 - Add group "Leaders of Mycenae", cite Agamemnon? "group/character/citation"
- ID1553, Agamemnon…sends 100 ships to Troy (place cited is "Orneae", text spells it "Orneiae", double-check to see if spelling is ok) "event/place"
- Add to event "Agamemnon…sends 100 ships to Troy" places: Aegium, Aegialus, Helice "event/place"
2.580-2.590 - ID2849, Agamemnon is brother of Menelaus (change relationship to "mortal father", and change Agamemnon to "Atreus", to get away from using this relationship type) "character/character/citation"
- Add group "Leaders of Lacedaemon", cite Menelaus? "group/character/citation"
- ID1560, Menelaus…sends 60 ships to Troy (place cited is "Bryseae", text spells it "Bryseiae", double-check spelling) "event/place"
- ID1561, ibid (place cited is "Augeae", text spells it "Augeiae", double check spelling) "event/place"

2.590-2.605 - Add group "Leaders of Pylos", cite Nestor? "group/character/citation"
- ID1563, Nestor sends 90 ships to Troy (place cited is "Pylus", change to "Pylos"? Also, this ought to be cited in 2.590-2.600 instead) "event/place"
2.600-2.615 - Add relationship: Atreus is mortal father of Agamemnon "character/character/citation"
- Add group "Arcadian Leaders", cite Agapenor (2)? "group/character/citation"
- Add to event "King Agapenor of Arcadia sends 60 ships to Troy" places: Arcadia, Pheneos, Rhipe, Stratia, Enispe, Parrhasia "event/place"
- ID1627, King Agapenor of Arcadia sends 60 ships to Troy (place cited is "Mantinea", text spells it "Mantineia", double-check spelling) "event/place"
2.610 - ID4632, Agamemnon finds ships for Arcadians to cross the sea… (should we say "gives" instead of "finds", maybe check the original Greek verb used here) "event/character/citation"
- ID1629, ibid (ibid) "event/place"
2.615-2.620 - ID4636-4637, Epean Leaders send 40 ships to Troy (these two records, citing Diores and Polyxenus (2), ought to be in Hom. Il. 2.620-2.625, which by the way this range does not exist in the database) "event/character/citation"
- ID4637, ibid (character cited is "Polyxenus (2)", text spells it "Polyxeinus", double-check spelling) "event/character/citation"
- Add to event "Epean Leaders send 40 ships to Troy" places: Buprasium, Hyrmine, Myrsinus, Olen, Alesium (maybe double check the latter four, since Homer is saying that everybody in the lands between these joined, does that mean that they are themselves included as places or are they just boundary markers?) "event/place"
2.625-2.630 - Add group "Leaders of Dulichiuni and the Echinae", cite Meges? "group/character/citation"
- ID1632, Epean Leaders send 40 ships to Troy (doesn't belong in 2.625-2.630, nor is it correct, delete) "event/place"
