[continued]

‘The Iliad and the Odyssey owe their unique status precisely to the creative and therefore unanalyzable confluence of tradition and design, the crystalline fixity of a formulaic style and* the mobile spontaneity of a brilliant personal vision. “Homer” implies, above all, this fusion.’

– ibid [Encyclopaedia Britannica 20:]698
