Is there any particular reason Homer’s epics are in 24 “books.” Is the number actually important or is it just happenstance?
Replying to @Selment1
The Iliad & the Odyssey were separated in books during the Hellenistic period by scholars from the library of Alexandria, before then, it was separated by content & events, such as the encounter of Diomedes and Glaucus or the Doloneia.
