Iliad & Odyssey were not "written" in rapsodies, the were one single part. They were divided in the later ancient years in 24 parts, called rapsodies, each labeled after a letter of the alphabet. Upper case letters were used for Iliad, while lower case letters were used for Odyssey. > A correct representation of the rapsodies can be found in > http://genesis.ee.auth.gr/agper/zpd/odyssey.zip > (split in 24 M$ Word files, sorry) > > There is moreover a nice image with decimal and ancient-greek style > equivalence at > http://www.geocities.com/coinscollectors/noumeral/noumeral.htm > > look at the first and second column and note that stigma (6) and koppa > (90) are correctly shown below the big image inside the text They're using the archaic form of koppa in the table. > > Regards > C/ -- Λες κι η στάθμη της αγάπης πάει να βρει /"\ Πόσοι κρύβονται στη λάσπη θησαυροί ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / Πως κοπήκανε στα δάχτυλα οι σταυροί against HTML email X Γι' ανθρώπων έργα... & microsoft attachments / \
