Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., part 2, sentence 15

Yet the labours of Wolfe, Grote, Mahaffy, Geddes, and Gladstone, have not been sufficient to set at rest the small question, whether it was one man or two or many who composed the Iliad and Odyssey, while the reality of the achievements of Achilles and even his existence might be denied or asserted by a scholar without general reproach.

Who acts: labours, question, one man, Odyssey · What happens: not be, set, be, compose, deny, assert · To what, where: small question, rest, one man, Iliad, reality, Achilles
