Economies of Memory in Greek Tragedy
This chapter explores the interaction between immaterial memory, the materiality of writing and forms of reciprocity. After a survey of the ways in which tragic playwrights bring memory into play, it focuses on two case studies. In Sophocles’ Ajax social ties and economies of gratitude break down since some of the protagonists refuse to remember: the Atreidae consign to oblivion Ajax’s services to the common Greek cause; Ajax himself is indiffere…
Greek Memories
Greek Memories aims to identify and examine the central concepts underlying the theories and practices of memory in the Greek world, from the archaic period to Late Antiquity, across all the main literary genres, and to trace some fundamental changes in these theories and practices. It explores the interaction and development of different 'disciplinary' approaches to memory in Ancient Greece, which will enable a fuller and deeper understanding of…
Letters and Communities
The writing of letters often evokes associations of a single author and a single addressee, who share in the exchange of intimate thoughts across distances of space and time. This model underwrites such iconic notions as the letter representing an ‘image of the soul of the author’ or constituting ‘one half of a dialogue’. However justified this conception of letter-writing may be in particular instances, it tends to marginalize a range of issues …
Life among the savages and escape from the city in Old Comedy
Letters and Decrees
During the Hellenistic period, royal correspondence constituted a challenging mode of diplomacy for polis communities. The chapter offers a case study of how one such community, Magnesia on the Maeander, responded to the challenge. The dossier in question concerns the request of acceptance of a new contest for Artemis Leukophryene, first celebrated in 208 BCE, which Magnesia addressed to all of the Greek world. The answers from kings, leagues, an…
Letters, Diplomacy, and the Roman Conquest of Greece
The chapter explores the ways in which the generic expectations of the letter differ from those of the decree, insofar as letters tend to contain discursive explanations of, or background to, the requests or decisions that they convey: the sender of a letter will not simply send instructions but will attempt to enable the recipient to understand why those instructions are being given, or at least to put them into a broader context. More specifica…
Image and Communication in the Seleucid Kingdom
Ancient Geography
Writing and Letter Writing
The second chapter opens with a discussion of the evidence for the beginnings and the impact of alphabetic writing, and more generally the sociology of early writing; it emphasizes regional differentiation, and argues that long-distance communication was not among the earliest uses of writing. Against this background it then traces the development of letter writing as a genre on the basis of a detailed analysis of the enunciation of the earliest …
When a Letter and Why? Narrative Strategies in the Ancient Historians
The analysis of long-distance communication in Herodotus emphasizes the closeness of oral and written messages, and the negative connotations of epistolary writing. Letter-writing characters are marked in Herodotus as oriental or tyrannical; letter writing itself can be often deceptive (and references to letters are striking enough to be used as structuring devices within the narrative). This is no longer the case in Thucydides, although letters …
Writing and Letter Writing on the Athenian Dramatic Stage
All references to writing in Athenian drama (both tragedy and comedy) are here contrastively analyzed, to tease out the specific connotations of epistolary writing. The chapter emphasizes that in Athens it is letter writing, and not writing in itself, that is problematic, because of its privateness and secrecy. While it is difficult to correlate directly the uses of letters in tragedy with those in Athenian political — or everyday — life, a comic…
Ancient Greek Letter Writing
The book offers a history of the development of letter writing in ancient Greece from the archaic to the early Hellenistic period. At the end of the fifth and beginning of the fourth century a turning point in epistolography takes place, as an epistolary language appropriate to, and standard for, private communication is developed. Highlighting the specificity of letter-writing, as opposed to other forms of communication and writing, the volume l…
Water and identity in the ancient Mediterranean
Naming the Aegean Sea
I ask whether it is possible, within the historical context of archaic and early classical Greece, to look at identity from the perspective of the sea. Starting from the observation that seas are usually named from the coastline they border, and that they are thus perceived as linked to that coastline, I look at the naming of the Aegean Sea. After discussing the ancient explanations, I conclude that the numerous islands and fragmented coastline o…

Dancing the Pyrrhichē in Athens
This chapter discusses the pyrrhichē and provides a detailed investigation into the iconographic, textual, and epigraphic evidence for this dance. Particular attention is paid to the contexts in which it was performed, notably at the Panathenaia, the Tauropolia, and the Apatouria festivals, in the dances of tragedy, comedy and choral lyric, and in association with Dionysiac cult and funerary ritual. What seems to link these different contexts is …
Le statut de l'acteur dans l'Antiquité grecque et romaine
La dimension incontestablement littéraire des œuvres théâtrales de l'Antiquité ne doit pas faire oublier les aspects plus matériels et plus concrets de spectacles qui étaient aussi visuels et qui requéraient la présence sur scène de ceux auxquels nous réservons le terme générique d'acteurs. Il est de nombreuses manières d'étudier les multiples facettes de ce métier et d'analyser toutes les connotations, positives ou négatives, qui y sont attachée…

Les structures de la concomitance dans les textes grecs archaïques
La relation entre 'texte' et 'contexte' est étudiée par Martin Steinrück ("Rede und Kontext. Zum Verhältnis von Person und Erzähler in frülhgriechischen Texten", Habelt, Bonn 1992) d'abord sur le modèle de celle entre personnages et narrateur dans les poèmes homériques (sur la base de leurs usages respectifs de l'analepse) ; ensuite, l'attention se déplace sur la relation entre les textes méliques et leur contexte de communication. L'analyse met …
Le tissage, la mémoire et la nymphe. Une récente lecture de l'Odyssée
This is an critical analysis of the book by I. Papadopoulou-Belmehdi, "Le chant de Pénélope. Poétique du tissage féminin dans l''Odyssée'", Belin, Paris 1994. The theme of Penelope's weaving is central in the structure of the Odyssey : weaving makes Penelope similar to other weaving nymphs ; as such, she stops the time at Ithaca and destroys a whole generation of young men. The 'unreal worlds' and Ithaca are not so different in this respect ; and…

La fable des poissons de Cyrus (Hérodote, 1, 141): son origine et sa fonction dans l'économie des Histoires (pp. 29-57) L'auteur se propose d'évaluer le rapport entre l'organisation narrative des Histoires et le "réel" tel qu'il a pu se présenter à Hérodote , en prenant comme point de départ un segment précis du texte, l'apologue adressé par Cyrus aux Ioniens (Hérodote, 1, 141). Une réponse à la question de l'existence de référents historiques es…
