According to ancient tradition, the Homeric poems were first written down by Pisistratus in the sixth century B.C. They were later studied, especially by the Alexandrian grammarians, among whom the great critic, Aristarchus of the second century B.C., produced an edition that has been the basis of the poems ever since.
Such epics were recited by outstanding poets like Homer, and might later be fixed by written versions.
By investigating Yugoslav oral poets of his day Milman Parry (1902-35) established the view that they were the results of a long tradition in which bards recited or sang shorter poems or lays that were the basis of longer poems, such as the Homeric epics.

 Cultural Analysis, Volume 1, 2000: Reviews
This is but one example (as far as I know the earliest) of the prodigious influence exerted on world literature studies by The Singer of Tales, which by any measure must be recognized as one of the twentieth century's most enduring works of research and scholarship in the humanities.
His hypothesis of traditional heritage soon evolved into a double hypothesis of tradition linked with oral performance, as Parry began to re-create what he believed to be not just the character but the actual presentational medium of the Iliad and Odyssey.
The initiative began with Parry's groundbreaking analyses of the texts of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and with his deduction that their repetitive, formulaic phraseology was symptomatic of their traditional heritage and their transmission by a long series of bards over many centuries.

Avdo was, in Milman Parry's estimation, the finest bard the scholars encountered in their trips through the Balkans.
On the basis of Parry's research on South Slavic epic, Albert Lord argued brilliantly (in his Singer of Tales) that the Homeric epics were, like South Slavic song, products of composition-in-performance, a medium of kleos and cultural memory.
