Note 301 — Chapter X · THE HOMERIC POEMS.
Reading edition
Cf. especially Wilamowitz-Möllendorff, Hom. Unt. p. 24 ff. The theory that the Ephyre of II 328 must be a different place from the Ephyre of I 259 seems to me very problematical if the author of the second book had only a vague knowledge of the geography of western Greece. Again, if Ilos Mermerides (I 259) is taken from the story of the Argo, is it really necessary that the source should be a different one from that referred to in XII 69 ff.?
