This paper examines the work of Jean-Pierre Vernant as a reader and interpreter of Homer. This is not one of the aspects of the great scholar to have received most attention, with the exception of his admirable and well-known studies on "la Belle Mort" (¿¿¿¿????, which are not discussed here. Instead, the paper focuses on two of Vernant's later studies, "Ulysse en personne" and "Au miroir de Pénélope", which appeared in the volume "Dans l'oeuil du miroir", published in 1997 in collaboration with Françoise Frontisi-Ducroux. Vernant's interpretations are assessed and in one or two minor cases an attempt is made to take them one step further.
