Petronius' criticism of Homer and the Greek poets Anonymous Tue Mar 28 04:06:06 2023 No.21841015 [Reply] [Original]

In this selection, Petronius gives his criticisms of Homer and the older style of poets from archaic Greece. Can someone knowledgable on the topic listen to the video and break down more easily for me in a detailed post what he is saying because I cant make heads nor tails of it.

What I am talking about is mostly the conversation in the first five to eight minutes maybe. At about two minutes in it is mentioned that Pinar superceded Homer in Petronius's opinion. The problem I have is I dont see what Homer or Thucydides or Pindar or any of them have to do with rhetoric skills during Rome in this era. Obv I know who Homer was but I dont see his influence in rhetoric or what he has to do with that,
