4 See, for example, Heubeck's note on Odyssey 11.568–627 for an argument for the text's integrity based on structural similarities between it and the Nekuia's catalogue of women. Heubeck also lists modern attempts to attack the lines, e.g. Wilamowitz's contention that they are an Orphic interpolation in Homerische Untersuchungen (Berlin, 1884), 109–206.Google Scholar
