Abstract
The Homeric Epics, before anything else, have taught us the Greek language properly – to such a level of excellence that they constitute world masterpieces. They have been the Gospel of the Hellenic people, a Gospel rid of elements of magic, metaphysics or superstition. Out of them, the Greeks have been taught models of honour, proper conduct and correct language.
