The Cambridge Companion to Pindar
Pindar was the single most important, canonical and influential lyric poet in the ancient Greek world, and he remains one of the most demanding and rewarding poets whose work has come down to us from antiquity. This volume represents the most comprehensive introduction to the poet and his reception yet published. Eighteen leading contemporary scholars contribute individual chapters that together help to provide a holistic understanding of Pindar'…
Which Was Sappho’s Best-Known Poem in Antiquity
This article considers the propositions, recently advanced in this journal, that Sappho fr. 1 was “the most widely quoted poem by the Lesbian poets in antiquity, and by far Sappho’s best-known work”. Arguing that the evidence tells against both these claims, the article compares fr. 1 with two other well attested works by Sappho. It builds a nuanced picture of their relative popularity, drawing on all the available evidence, before by way of conc…
Luxury and Wealth in Sparta and the Peloponnese
Labor X
This chapter examines the sources for Heracles’ tenth Labor, the killing of the three-headed Geryon and the stealing of his cattle. Beginning with Hesiod, it analyzes Stesichorus’ take on the myth with its surprisingly sympathetic portrayal of Geryon, whose home Stesichorus placed in southern Spain; the striking depictions of the clash in archaic Greek art; the accounts offered by the mythographers; and the assertions of settlements such as Sagun…
Song Regained
Apart from relatively few exceptions of texts which survive intact, what we have of Ancient Greek literature remains, to a great degree, fragmentary. As a result it is often misread, overlooked or mined not for its own sake but to support the investigation of texts which survive in their entirety. This collection of chapters addresses a range of poetic fragments, with a strong (though not exclusive) focus on Archaic epic and lyric, and an emphasi…
Suffering in Silence
This chapter focuses on women who have themselves been the object of violence and who are linked by the theme of silence. The episode in Trachiniae in which Deianira is struck by the appearance of Iole has long been compared to the scene between Clytemnestra and Cassandra in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon: in both cases, a silent woman, a target of male sexual lust, arrives at the home of her new master and is met by his wife. The chapter highlights the re…

Phaedra between Homer and Sophocles
This chapter gathers all the evidence for Phaedra from between the Odyssey and Sophocles, evidence largely neglected in modern scholarship. It goes on to investigate the consequences of some of that neglected evidence (namely Stesichorus) for the idea that the references to Athenian myth in the Odyssey imply an Athenian context for the early transmission, or even composition, of that poem, and argues that Athenian myth was becoming part of panhel…
More than Homer Knew - Studies on Homer and His Ancient Commentators
This book contains a collection of twenty-one essays in honour of Professor Franco Montanari by eminent specialists on Homer, ancient Homeric scholarship, and the reception of the Homeric Epics in both ancient and modern times. It covers a wide range of important subjects, including neoanalysis and oral poetry, the Doloneia, the Homeric scholia, the theoretical premises of Aristarchean scholarship, and Homer in Sappho, Pindar, Comedy, Plato, and …
Gazing at Helen with Stesichorus
Electra
The start of Sophocles' Electra sees the return of Orestes to his native Mycenae, accompanied by his faithful slave, the Paedagogus.Years before, Orestes' mother, Clytemnestra, together with her lover, Aegisthus, had killed his father, Agamemnon, on his return from the Trojan War; the young Orestes was spirited away to friends in Phocis by his elder sister, Electra.Now he has returned, ordered by Apollo to avenge by stealth his father's murder.He…
Sophocles’ Ajax and the Polis
This article examines the two mentions of the polis in Sophocles’ Ajax, arguing that to understand the political aspects of this and other tragedies, we need to take into account the diverse composition of their audiences
Stesichorus, master of narrative
Stesichorus’ long mythological narratives offered great scope to the poet to develop plots, characters, and themes beyond what would have been possible in shorter works. These lengthy lyrics also required considerable planning and organisation on the part of the poet, in order to prevent them from becoming diff use or meandering. They thus offer us a particular opportunity to assess and appreciate Stesichorus’ poetic technique. In a discussion of…
Iliou persis
The myth in poetry and art For as long as the Trojan War was the subject of Greek song, the sack of that city must have provided bards with some of their most memorable poetry. The recovery of Helen required the destruction of an ancient and mighty city, with dramatic consequences for victors and vanquished. The Greeks won great glory, but their impiety during the sack tainted that achievement, and led to many warriors experiencing a perilous or …
The Greek Epic Cycle and its Ancient Reception
The poems of the Epic Cycle are assumed to be the reworking of myths and narratives which had their roots in an oral tradition predating that of many of the myths and narratives which took their present form in the Iliad and the Odyssey. The remains of these texts allow us to investigate diachronic aspects of epic diction as well as the extent of variation within it on the part of individual authors - two of the most important questions in modern…
Ancient Reperformances of Sophocles
This chapter examines the evidence for early reperformances of Sophocles’ plays in the fifth and fourth centuries BC, making use of literary, inscriptional, and iconographical evidence to show the importance of the reperformance tradition for his plays in these early stages of their transmission, both in Attica and elsewhere in the Greek world
Sophocles Philoctetes 671-673
Sophocles’ Theseus
SOPHOCLES' THESEUSDid Greek tragedy show 'increased responsiveness to the pressing social and political issues of the day to the benefit of the polis' in the final stages of the Peloponnesian War, after the Athenian defeat in Sicily in 413 B.C.? That is one of the questions which the organisers of this conference invite us to consider.One aspect of the topic which they highlight is whether 'by regularly promoting examples of public-spirited and c…
Greek Tragedy and Political Philosophy. Rationalism and Religion in Sophocles’ Theban Plays
Orthographica Sophoclea
This article discusses some orthographical questions which relate to the text of Sophocles. It pays special attention to the editor’s duty to present the evidence for ancient orthography accurately, consistently, and efficiently
The ending of Sophocles’ Oedipus rex
This article defends the authenticity of lines 1424–1523 of Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex in the face of a recent attack, and establishes that doubts about this section were first raised at the beginning of the eighteenth century

Pindar
Pindar's Pythian Eleven is a miniature masterpiece: a poem praising a young athlete which presents a vivid and important account of the Agamemnon legend. Yet it contains so many difficulties (of text, metre, dating and interpretation) that even Wilamowitz regarded it as one of Pindar's most obscure poems. This 2007 edition (the first full-scale treatment that the poem had ever received) provides answers to the problems that have prevented proper …

It also includes West's Balzan Prize acceptance speech, ‘Forward into the Past’, in wh…
