THE <i>SÔROS</i> OF POSIDIPPUS OR ARISTARCHUS? REVISITING THE A-SCHOLIA ΟN HOMER, <i>ILIAD</i> 11.101

Abstract This article re-examines the A-scholia to Homer, Iliad 11.101 (= SH 701 = Posidippus 144 AB) and their reinterpretation of the term sôros , which designates the location where Aristarchus discovered the ‘Bêrisos epigram’ of Posidippus. The article challenges the prevailing and widely embraced hypothesis positing that sôros serves as the title of a lost collection of Hellenistic epigrams.
