The aim of this paper is to present a detailed picture of homeristai, the characteristic of the artists who have
been specialized in acting the scenes from Greek epic. It focuses on analysing the ancient sources relating to
their performances, and examines whether they had a burlesque or a more serious character. By providing information
on different aspects of the art of acting and the possible text used by homeristai, I try to reconstruct
the performances and their significance in the late Greek theatre.
