Abstract

[An effort is made to show that none of the Alexandrians attempted to foist his theory of the dual into the text of Homer, but that each followed the manuscript evidence as he had it. Instances of the 'false' dual are found chiefly in interpolations, although there are one, or possibly two, passages in which a 'false' dual has been created by the use of borrowed materials. ]
