[edit] Allusion to the Iliad

Not all scholars think that the Pithekoussai inscription alludes to the Iliad. As Jonathan Burgess puts it, "a reference to Nestor's cup is not necessarily a reference to Iliad 11.632-637, for Nestor's cup could have existed in mythology independently of Homer..." (The Tradition of the Trojan War in Homer and the Epic Cycle, 114). For a more detailed objection, see this book review of The Returns of Odysseus. I changed some parts of the article to reflect this scholarly opinion, and will probably add a bit more soon. Akhilleus 07:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
