Studies in Greek Literature
Pat Easterling's articles are fundamental to her status as one of the most influential Hellenists of her generation. Characterised by unostentatious astuteness and an arresting capacity for observation, they put forward tersely considered arguments that have the weight of much longer discussions. Exacting attention to language and detail combines with clear-sighted openness to new developments within and beyond the discipline to allow the texts t…
I and We
This article examines Hannah Arendt’s contribution to notions of the “We” and tests key Arendtian concepts through relation and juxtaposition with philosophical and literary texts from different periods, thereby complicating discussions of (1) how individuals participate in, shape, and are shaped by various forms of “We”; (2) how, within collective participation, individuals come to care about being themselves; and (3) to what extent literary tex…

Differential effects of film genre on viewers’ absorption, identification, and enjoyment
Marketers, filmmakers, and cinema-goers assume that genre has a large effect on how the audience responds to and engages with a film. However, trait measures such as transportability suggest that, in some cases, individual differences may shape audience engagement more than genre does. To investigate this disparity, we compared viewers’ enjoyment, identification with characters, and story world absorption (including three subscales: Transportatio…
Metalepsis and Readerly Investment in Fictional Characters
This chapter is a critical discussion of the metaleptic phenomenon of apostrophizing fictional and/or long-dead characters. It asks what model of engagement with fiction emerges if one takes the gesture of speaking to a fictional character literally, not merely as a rhetorical trope but a meaningful speech act. In this mode of reading, modelled by an apostrophizing author as first reader of their own text, apostrophe suggests that characters are,…
Attending to Tragic Messenger Speeches
The chapter draws on the psychological as well as everyday notion of ‘attention’ to analyse the experience afforded by tragic messenger speeches. What marks out this experience, it is argued, is that attention shifts dynamically between not just two levels (the world of the play and the performance qua performance) but three: the offstage world of the messenger’s narrative, the messenger and his listeners onstage, and the performance qua performa…
Group Minds in Classical Athens? Chorus and Dēmos as Case Studies of Collective Cognition
Cognition has reached collectives. It is no longer just sociologists and historians who are trying to understand how groups act, decide, believe or remember. Literary critics of all periods have begun in earnest to study forms of collective cognition in narrative texts. ‘Emotional contagion’, the notion that individuals ‘catch’ the emotions of those around them, has become a resonant idea in several disciplines. Evolutionary psychologists have be…
Greek Lyric
The corpus of Greek lyric holds a twofold attraction. It provides glimpses of the song culture of early Greece in which lyric performance had a central place, and it presents us with some captivating and memorable poetry which has been admired since antiquity. This edition gathers poems by seven of the nine canonical lyricists (Alcman, Alcaeus, Sappho, Stesichorus, Ibycus, Anacreon, Simonides), as well as a number of carmina popularia and carmina…
Textual Events
Recent decades have seen a major expansion in our understanding of how early Greek lyric functioned in its social, political, and ritual contexts. The fundamental role song played in the day-to-day lives of communities, groups, and individuals has been the object of intense study. This volume places its focus elsewhere, and attempts to illuminate poetic effects that cannot be captured in functional terms. Employing a range of interpretative metho…
Greek Festival Choruses in and out of Context
In ‘Greek Festival Choruses in and out of Context’, Felix Budelmann explores the paradoxical status of Archaic and Classical Greek festival choruses as both of and not of the occasion. These choruses—maiden songs, paeans, dithyrambs, and so on—can be looked at in two ways: as fulfilling a specific function in the specific context for which they were composed, but also as transcending that context and function. Using Alcman’s Partheneion 1 and Pin…
Choruses, Ancient and Modern
The ancient singing and dancing chorus has exerted a powerful influence in the modern world. This is the first book to look systematically at the points of similarity and difference between ancient and modern choruses, across time and place, in their ancient contexts in modern theatre, opera, dance, musical theatre, and in political debate
Reading the Victory Ode
The victory ode was a short-lived poetic genre in the fifth century BC, but its impact has been substantial. Pindar, Bacchylides and others are now among the most widely read Greek authors precisely because of their significance for the literary development of poetry between Homer and tragedy and their historical involvement in promoting Greek rulers. Their influence was so great that it ultimately helped to define the European notion of lyric fr…
Introducing Greek lyric
In my eyes he matches the gods, that man who sits there facing you - any man whatever - listening from closeby to the sweetness of your voice as you talk, the sweetness of your laughter: yes, that - I swear it - sets the heart to shaking inside my breast, since once I look at you for a moment, I can't speak any longer, but my tongue breaks down, and then all at once a subtle fire races inside my skin, my eyes can't see a thing and a whirring whis…
Anacreon and the Anacreontea
Along with Sappho and Pindar, Anacreon is probably the Greek lyric poet with the most extensive reception history. His cultural influence has been such that many European languages have a word like 'anacreontic'. At the core of the 'anacreontic' is a simple pair: drink and desire, or 'convivial, amatory', as the Oxford English Dictionary defines the word. This image of Anacreon is dominant already in antiquity. In the second century BCE Antipater…
The Cambridge Companion to Greek Lyric
Greek lyric poetry encompassed a wide range of types of poem, from elegy to iambos and dithyramb to epinician. It particularly flourished in the Archaic and Classical periods, and some of its practitioners, such as Sappho and Pindar, had significant cultural influence in subsequent centuries down to the present day. This Companion provides an accessible introduction to this fascinating and diverse body of poetry and its later reception. It takes …
Reception and Tradition
The Reception of Sophocles' Representation of Physical Pain
Two of Sophocles' surviving tragedies contain scenes that portray the main character in excruciating pain for a sustained period of time: Philoctetes and Trachiniae. This article discusses three important stages in the reception history of these pain scenes: (1) Hercules Oetaeus, attributed to Seneca, (2) Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's Laocoon treatise, and (3) recent European adaptations. In each case, it analyzes how the later playwrights, director…

The Language of Sophocles
This 1999 book is a wide-ranging study of Sophoclean language. From a detailed analysis of sentence-structure in the first chapter, it moves on to discuss in subsequent chapters how language shapes the perception of characters, of myths, of gods and of choruses. All chapters are united by a shared concern: how does Sophoclean language engage readers and spectators? In answering this question, The Language of Sophocles avoids the current emphasis …
