  • On the Divide

    David Porter, David H PorterARTICLEThe Classical World2011

    This paper had its origins at the 2010 Classical Association of the Atlantic States meetings in Newark. For a panel on music and the classics I was slated to offer "The Well-Tampered Clavier: Play, Musical and Otherwise," a lecture-recital that features music by Ives, Cowell, Cage, and Satie but that is really about the centrality of play and playfulness in creative endeavor of any sort. When it proved impossible to find the two pianos required f…

  • Aeschylus' Eumenides

    David H PorterARTICLEThe American Journal of Philology2005References: 41

    Although Aeschylus' Oresteia moves toward resolution on many fronts, there are significant counterpoints to these positive progressions.

    David H PorterBOOKHorace's Poetic Journey1987Cited by: 9References: 1

    David Porter's approach to Horace's most important lyric collection is through a close sequential reading of the eighty-eight poems in Odes 1-3. Taking into account the way an ancient book was read or recited, this view of the work as a continuously unfolding creation reveals a strong sense of forward movement and of thematic development, at times almost a narrative flow.Originally published in 1987.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest pr…
