Verbs didaskein and terpein appear relatively frequently in Homer’s poems. They assume various
senses depending on contextual use. The author of the article presents the polysemous nature of
these two verbs (as well as thelgein) and articulates the view that the poet was fully aware of the
potential and beauty of the words, as important elements shaping the poem itself and its stylistic
impact on his audience.
