The Dynamism of Mouvance in the Pronouncements of the Delphic Oracle
I have two points to make about the chapter title, and these points will help situate my overall argumentation here.
Phaethon, Sappho’s Phaon, and the White Rock of Leukas
Ancient Greek Poetry, Prophecy, and Concepts of Theory
John Miles Foley's World of Oralities
This collection brings together newly commissioned and cutting-edge essays on oral text and tradition ranging from the ancient and medieval world to the present day by a leading group of European and North American oral theorists. Using a range of materials including the Bible, Greek epic, Beowulf, Old Norse and Old English riddles, and medieval music, the contributors collectively work to refine, challenge, and further advance contemporary Oral …
The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours
The ancient Greeks' concept of was very different from what we understand by the term today, Gregory Nagy argues--and it is only through analyzing their historical contexts that we can truly understand Achilles, Odysseus, Oedipus, and Herakles. In Greek tradition, a hero was a human, male or female, of the remote past, who was endowed with superhuman abilities by virtue of being descended from an immortal god. Despite their mortality, heroes, lik…

The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours
The ancient Greeks’ concept of “the hero” was very different from what we understand by the term today. In 24 installments, based on the Harvard course Nagy has taught and refined since the 1970s, The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours explores civilization’s roots in Classical literature—a lineage that continues to challenge and inspire us.
Homer and Hesiod As Prototypes of Greek Literature
Hesiod and the Poetics of Pan-Hellenism
The Epic Cycle and the Uniqueness of Homer
The Homeric poems are the subject of a flood of print that a definite justification is needed by one who adds to it. Aristotle pointed out that Homer puts many things into the mouths of his characters, when he himself does not wish to vouch for their truth, most notably in the stories told by Odysseus in the Odyssey and Glaucus’ reminiscences of Bellerophon in Iliad vi. Homer of course is altogether silent about Iphigenia, the great epics relishi…
On the Shaping of the Lyric Canon in Athens
The Death of Sarpedon and the Question of Homeric Uniqueness
Phaethon, Sappho's Phaon, and the White Rock of Leukas
Greek Mythology and Poetics
Gregory Nagy here provides a far-reaching assessment of the relationship between myth and ritual in ancient Greek society. Nagy illuminates in particular the forces of interaction and change that transformed the Indo-European linguistic and cultural heritage into distinctly Greek social institutions between the eighth and the fifth centuries B.C. Included in the volume are thirteen of Nagy's major essays—all extensively revised for book publicati…
Homer the Preclassic
Homer the Preclassic considers the development of the Homeric poems-in particular the Iliad and Odyssey -during the time when they were still part of the oral tradition. Gregory Nagy traces the evolution of rival "Homers" and the different versions of Homeric poetry in this pretextual period, reconstructed over a time frame extending back from the sixth century BCE to the Bronze Age. Accurate in their linguistic detail and surprising in their imp…

Diachrony and the Case of Aesop
In this project, which is a radical rewriting of a keynote address I gave at a conference held at Duke University in 2010 on the topic of diachrony, I speak about a methodology and about the application of this methodology in analyzing a tradition. The methodology is diachronic analysis, and I apply this methodology here to an ancient tradition that combines the fables of Aesop with a set of stories that tell about his life and times, conventiona…
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…

Greek-like Elements in Linear A
The phonetic values of some Linear B signs, applied to Linear A, suggest a number of Greek terms, which may reflect an influx of Greeks to Crete after about 1660 B.C.
Thucydides' Use of Herodotus
The best of the Achaeans
Pindar's Homer
The Best of the Achaeans
Despite widespread interest in the Greek hero as a cult figure, little was written about the relationship between the cult practices and the portrayals of the hero in poetry. The first edition of The Best of the Achaeans bridged that gap, raising new questions about what could be known or conjectured about Greek heroes. In this revised edition, which features a new preface, Gregory Nagy reconsiders his conclusions in the light of the subsequent d…

The Poetic Dialect of Sappho and Alcaeus
Homeric Poetry and Problems of Multiformity
ULTIFORMITY, according to Albert Lord, is a basic feature of oral traditional poetry.1 In his writings, lectures, and conversations, Lord preferred to use the terms multiformity and multiform instead of variation and variant in order to emphasize the fluidity of oral poetry, to be contrasted with the fixity of written texts. Lord was worried that those who are unfamiliar with the workings of any given oral tradition might easily be misled to thin…
The "Professional Muse" and Models of Prestige in Ancient Greece
he figure of Pindar, a poet who flourished in the first half of the fifth century B.C. (the last securely-datable poem attributed to him was composed for performance in the year 446), represents a period of major crisis in the status and function of poetry in ancient Greek society. Heir to an aristocratic prestige-generating system that had linked poet and patron as one, Pindar was faced with new historical circumstances that threatened this old …
The Fire Ritual of the Iguvine Tables
Italic rituals of purification by fire are attested in the Iguvine Tables, a repertoire of sacred texts managed by the "Atiedian Brethren" of the Umbrian city of Iguvium. These rituals can be understood in greater depth in light of the actual language of ritual. This paper reviews earlier work on the sacral language of the Tables and considers anew the syntax of the fire ritual as it plays out in the prescriptive formulations written in the Latin…

The Poetic Dialect of Sappho and Alcaeus
Théognis et Mégare. Le poète dans l'âge de fer
A partir de l'image clé du navire de l'Etat en proie à la tempête, métaphore de la Cité affligée par la discorde civile, la poésie de Théognis, message volontairement ambigu adressé aux "agathoi", est analysée comme une œuvre générique, mettant en scène l'histoire politique et sociale de Mégare, et destinée à atteindre un auditoire panhellénique. La personnalité du poète, dans son rapport à la "dikè" dont la rectitude rituelle n'a d'égal que cell…

La clef d'interprétation de cette histoire est le mot τάριχος, qui se réfère à la conservation de la nourriture dans le domaine de …

Early Greek views of poets and poetry
Histories of criticism in early Greece are usually based on surveys of those relatively few passages where the Greek poets speak about themselves and their poetry. Although this chapter will comment on many of these passages, the publication of a new history offers an opportunity to go beyond this fragmentary evidence by considering it in the wider framework of the society or societies for which this poetry existed. In what follows, the primary e…

Surveying the beginnings of critical consciousness in Greece and proceeding to the writings of Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle, and Hellenistic and Roman authors, this volume is not only for classicists but for those with no Greek or Latin who are interested in the origins of literary history, theory, and criticism
