Ancient sources refer in various ways to the so-called Peisistratean recension of the Homeric poems. These accounts share the idea that The Iliad and The Odyssey, allegedly already committed to writing, were later fragmented and dispersed, until Peisistratus, the tyrant of Athens in the 6th century BCE, initiated an effort to collect the scattered fragments and commissioned the Athenians to produce a new edition of the text.
