Problem: What could be the response? DIALOG:
Did Homer write the first epic poem?
- Homer did not create the epic hexameter, however, and there is evidence that other meters also predate his work.
- who wrote the first epic poem as a genre?
- Thus, though ancient scholars credited Archilochus with the invention of elegy and iambic poetry, he probably built on a "flourishing tradition of popular song" that pre-dated Homer.
- what were some of Archilochus' works?
- His innovations however seem to have turned a popular tradition into an important literary medium.
- Are there any other interesting aspects about this article?
- His merits as a poet were neatly summarized by the rhetorician Quintilian: Most ancient commentators focused on his lampoons and on the virulence of his invective as in the comments below, yet the extant verses (most of which come from Egyptian papyri) indicate a very wide range of poetic interests.
- what were some of his interests?
- Alexandrian scholars collected the works of the other two major iambographers, Semonides and Hipponax, in just two books each, which were cited by number, whereas Archilochus was edited and cited not by book number but rather by poetic terms such as 'elegy', 'trimeters', 'tetrameters' and 'epodes'.
- what were some of his terms?
- 
A: Moreover, even those terms fail to indicate his versatility:  One convenient way to classify the poems is to divide them between elegy and iambus ( )—elegy aimed at some degree of decorum, since it employed the stately hexameter of epic, whereas the term 'iambus', as used by Alexandrian scholars, denoted any informal kind of verse meant to entertain (it may have included the iambic meter but was not confined to it).

- Child began forming the plot on 21 June 2005, when he remembered that it was ten years to the day he had been fired from a previous job, leading to the why and how he became a writer.
- Why was he fired?
- He then thought about old colleagues, workmates, buddies, that he went through a lot with, and wondered where they all were, what were they doing, were they doing well or struggling, were they happy, what did they look like, and leading to full nostalgia: feelings that high school, college, old jobs, old towns moved away from, that everyone shares.
- Did he write any other books?
- He decided to make the next Reacher book about a reunion, "among a bunch of old colleagues that he hadn't seen for ten years, people that he loved fiercely and respected deeply.
- What was the book about?
- 
ANS: Regular Reacher readers will know that he's a pretty self-confident guy, but I wanted him to wobble just a little this time, to compare his choices with theirs, to measure himself against them. " When Reacher's old friend tells him in the novel's beginning to "put the old unit back together", Child notes, "It's an irresistible invitation.
