Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2018. 1st paperback ed. XII,211p. Paperback. 'The book is structured around three ideas based on ancient claims about Stesichorus: first, that Stesichorus is 'supremely Homeric' (.); second, that there is more to his narrative technique than Quintilian?s remark (Stesichorus) 'is redundant and diffuse' ('redundat atque effunditur', Inst. 10.1.62); finally, that even though a character in a fifth-century comedy declares that 'it is old- fashioned to sing Stesichorus? works' (.), the poet?s influence can be traced throughout centuries, from the mid-sixth century BCE to our days. (.). There is much to be gained from this learned volume, but we are still some distance away from encountering the world of the poet.'

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The sixth-century BC Greek poet Stesichorus was highly esteemed in antiquity; but by about AD 400 his works had been almost completely lost. Over recent decades, however, the recovery of substantial portions of his poetry has enabled a reassessment of his significance. These essays by leading scholars analyse different aspects of his oeuvre: the relationship between Stesichorus and epic, particularly his response to the Homeric poems; his narrative technique and his handling of erotic themes; and his influence and reception in fifth-century Athens, in Hellenistic scholarship and poetry, in the Renaissance, and in poetry today. The volume as a whole - the first dedicated to this author - amply demonstrates the extraordinary creativity and continuing vitality of the poet from Himera. Artikel-Nr. 9781107645660
