9780801855757: Poet, Public, and Performance in Ancient Greece

Synopsis

Poetry in archaic and classical Greece was a practical art arising from specific social or political circumstances. Therefore, each interpretation must be in the context of its performance. The contributors to this study reconstruct the performance context of an array of works, including the epic, tragedy, lyric, elegy and proverbs. Each essay calls attention to the public and performed character and contexts of the variety of poems and speech acts discussed.
