Which of the following, if true, best completes the passage below? The traditional view of Homer is that of a blind bard who wrote down the epic poems known as the Iliad and the Odyssey in the eighth century B.C.E. We know now, however, that this picture cannot be true. The language used in the epic poems contains elements of the Greek language dating from the twelfth to the eighth centuries B.C.E., but the Greek writing system was not developed until the late seventh century, when it was used to record clerical notes. A more accurate statement regarding Homer, therefore, is that, if he existed, he most likely
选项
A、wrote the poems down in the fifth century B.C.E., using a pre-existing oral tradition of Greek epic poetry.
B、was involved in the recording of clerical notes in Greek in the seventh century.
C、composed the poems orally in the eighth century and then dictated them to a scribe in the late seventh century.
D、composed the poems orally in the twelfth century, using a predecessor of the Greek language.
E、composed the poems orally in the eighth century, using elements of pre-existing Greek epic poetry.
答案
E
解析
The statement in the passage that the "language used in the epic poems contains elements of the Greek language dating from the twelfth to the eighth centuries B. C. E." suggests that the poem was probably composed in the eighth century, using pre-existing poetic material. If "the Greek writing system was not developed until the late seventh century," then the poem must have been composed orally if it was composed in the eighth century, because it could not have been written down at that time. The mechanism described in C is vaguely plausible, although it is very unlikely that a person who composed poems in the eighth century would be alive to dictate them in the late seventh century. E is the best answer.
