Song Regained: Working with Greek Poetic Fragments
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…
Defining local identities in Greek lyric poetry
The formative period of the Greek poleis overlaps with the earliest phase of the development of archaic lyric poetry. The two phenomena are not unrelated, as both the sympotic songs of solo lyric and public choral songs were among the most effective media used for negotiating the position of individuals and groups within the community, and for staging shared identities. Poetic discourse in the context of public festivals and other social gatherin…
Wandering Poets in Ancient Greek Culture: Travel, Locality and Pan-Hellenism
Although recent scholarship has focused on the city-state as the context for the production of Greek poetry, for poets and performers travel was more the norm than the exception. This book traces this central aspect of ancient culture from its roots in the near Eastern societies which preceded the Greeks, through the way in which early semi-mythical figures such as Orpheus were imagined, the poets who travelled to the brilliant courts of archaic …
The Hesiodic Catalogue of Women: Constructions and Reconstructions
The Catalogue of Women, ascribed to Hesiod, one of the greatest figures of early hexameter poetry, maps the Greek world, its evolution and its heroic myths through the mortal women who bore children to the gods. In this collection a team of international scholars offers an attempt to explore the poem's meaning, significance and reception. Individual chapters examine the organization and structure of the poem, its social and political context, its…
The Megalai Ehoiai: A survey of the fragments
If Leo seems to have demonstrated to everyone's satisfaction that the Hesiodic Γυναικῶν Κατάλογος was the same poem as the Ehoiai , the relation between the Catalogue and the Megalai Ehoiai (hereafter ME ) remains much more debated. The fragments attributed to the ME by ancient sources are separately printed in the edition of Merkelbach and West, and West 1985a treats them as belonging to a poem different from the Catalogue . The view that the tw…
Ordered from the Catalogue: Pindar, Bacchylides, and Hesiodic genealogical poetry
CATALOGUE AND PRAISE Greek lyric poets of the early fifth century largely addressed local audiences while promising panhellenic renown. The context of their songs is inscribed in the texts themselves. The interplay between local concerns (the poet's, the patron's and the audience's) and the more than local reach of the song was a complex construct. By contrast, genealogical epic poetry, as we are able to reconstruct it, does not seem explicitly t…
