The evolution of Homeric poetry is explored through its transition from oral traditions to more fixed textual forms, culminating in the era of Aristarchus around 150 BC. This period marks a significant shift from fluidity in the transmission of the epics to a more rigid, definitive textualization, highlighting the complexities and historical context of how these foundational works were preserved and transformed over time.
