Abstract
Against the generally accepted view, elaborated in particular by Prof. D. L. Page, it is argued that the Kyklōpeia cannot confidently be analysed in terms of related folktale material and does not contain flaws that would support such an analysis. The methodological basis of the folktale analysis is examined and the passages of Homer said to contain tell‐tale flaws are discussed.Keywords
