This paper sketches out a history of ancient and modern discussions on the aesthetic “imperfection” of the
Iliad and the Odyssey. The views of, among others, Horace, Pseudo-Longinus, F.A. Wolf, F.W. Nietzsche
will be examined, as well as more recent evaluations of the Homeric poems. A passing comment by U. Eco
will also inspire some reflections.
