so. How do we guide users through these many resources in a
structured but not overly pre-determined or static way? Some
working toward digital editions or other digital collections
promote the idea of the reader or user as editor (Robinson
2004, Ulman 2006, the Vergil Project at http://vergil.classics.
upenn.edu/project.html). Yet Dahlström (2000, section 4)
warned that a “hypermedia database exhibiting all versions of
a work, enabling the user to choose freely between them and
to construct his or her ‘own’ version or edition, presupposes a
most highly competent user, and puts a rather heavy burden on
him or her.” This type of digital edition “threatens to bury the
user deep among the mass of potential virtuality.” Especially
because we do not want to limit the usefulness of this project
to specialized Homeric scholars only, a balance between
freedom of choice and structured guidance is important. We
are not alone in grappling with the questions, and the need
to recognize and represent the oral, traditional nature of
Homeric poetry provides a special challenge in our pursuit of
the answers.
