We can detect another kind of polyphony in the extant fragments of archaic elegy, one that evolves over long stretches of time as one generation re-performs and improvises upon the favorite elegiac songs of the past.1 It seems clear, for example, that fourth-century Athenians informally recited the elegiac verses of Tyrtaeus, Solon, and ‘ Theognis’ at their symposia, apparently in a context that allowed for improvisation.
