Chorizontal

/ˌkaɪ.rəˈzɑn.təl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of Chorizontes, ancient Greek scholars who believed Homer's epics were written by multiple authors rather than one person.

Etymology

From Greek 'chorizontes' (those who separate or divide), from 'chorizein' meaning 'to separate.' The term emerged in ancient scholarship debates about authorship and has been applied to similar divisive textual analysis since.

Kelly Says

The Chorizontes were basically the original academic skeptics of authorship—imagine ancient scholars using literary analysis to argue that the Iliad and Odyssey couldn't possibly be by one author, centuries before computers and plagiarism detection software!
