This is largely due to the influence of the great renaissance literary theorist Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484–1558), who in his comparison between Homer and Virgil in the fifth book of his Poetice designated the shield as one of the strongest arguments for the decided superiority of the Roman poet.1 What bothered Scaliger were mainly the exuberant effects of movement and sound in the Homeric passage.	cache/grbs-14521.pdf	txt/grbs-14521.txt
