This article argues that the Iliad embeds an epitaph and hymnos within Achilles' speech above Hektor's corpse (Il. 22.386–90) before the paean of 22.391–94. It first analyzes the linguistic, thematic, and functional features of epitaph and hymnos in the speech, such as the κεῖται ... νέκυς formula, epitaphic memory, hymnic-segue construction, topos of remembering and forgetting, and segue function. It then explores how the text exploits the generic expectations generated by these features before reflecting on the structuring role of embedded genre at the beginning and end of the Iliad.
