They didn't compare Ossian to Homer. Read it again. They compared Ossian to Irish legends and then compared The Odyssey to The Illiad. Ossian was suspiciously close to the Irish where Odyssey and Iliad were quite different.
- genman 3y agoWhile this would make some sense, you appear to be wrong: We compare the connectivity structures underlying the societies described in the Ossianic narratives with those of ancient Greek and Irish sources.
