(XII-211 p.) ; 26 cmTitre de forme: Congrès, Oxford, 2012ISBN: 9781107069732.Langue: AnglaisPays: Royaume-Uni, Etats-Unis, Australie, Inde, Singapour Auteur principal: Finglass, Patrick John, Directeur de publication, 1979-.... Co-auteur: Kelly, Adrian, 1972-...., Directeur de publication Résumé: 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. (Source : éditeur).
