Abstract
Tzetzes thought that epic poems were characterized by four features: the presence of the hexameter, of allegorical myths, of a special vocabulary and the use of ‘history’ for the plot. The first three features are strictly formal, and the Byzantine grammarian was convinced to master them completely; he, moreover, thought to have access to historical sources equal or superior to those used by Homer to write Iliad and Odyssey. This authorized Tzetzes to create his own poetical versions about episodes of the Trojan Cycle, that in his opinion were even better than the Homeric originals.
