I have a question that does not directly concern a specific Greek text but I
think it is still within the parameters of B-Greek.
I saw a book on Amazon: The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark by Dennis
MacDonald .

There are several reviews. I was wondering if any of you who are very
familiar with Mark's style and with the Homeric poems have ever noticed
anything like this.
One comment made me question the validity of one review as it suggests that
Mark made up the stories to point out the parallels with Homer but I can't
comment on Mark's style as compared to the Homeric Epics.
Thank you.
Bert de Haan.
