OCC OVATIO As the years rolled round—another hundred, in fact—our society hadgathered once again near Columbus. This year’s anniversary, however, isnot a centennial for us but rather for the Homerist Milman Parry. It was hewho demonstrated the nature of the language of Homeric epic byresearching the metrics of the names of all the heroes, which culminated indissertations that combined a keen poetic sensibility with analyticalobservation. This was not the work of one who originated such ideas, butrather of one who devoted himself to approaching them systematically. Hisfirst study was completed in 1923 AD at the University of California,Berkeley, but his subsequent Parisian efforts were by far his best and mostimportant work. Moreover, when he went to Yugoslavia with his student,Albert Lord, an assistant from Harvard, with the intention of recording theperformances of traditional singers in the mountain valleys and villages offorested Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, it was a new beginning ofknowledge—or even a new age of scholarship. Throughout Ohio a wind will soon shed today’s leaves to the ground, as itwill in these shady forested grounds of the Columbus Academy in its lateautumn season. Distinguished scholars have gathered here since long ago,and now once again: Richard Janko, Katherine Kretler and Lillian Doherty—true Homeridae, if ever there really were sons and daughters of Homer, Godknows. Here is Jay Reed, splendid Virgilian scholar and speaker for ourbanquet, and here the novelist Julie Berry, author of Lovely War, and specialthanks are owed to him who has excelled the world in helmsmanshipwhenever storms would strike, our president Timothy Wutrich. ‘Translation
