Download or read book A Companion to the Greek Lyric Poets written by Douglas E. Gerber and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook for the reading of early Greek poetry is intended to be both a manual for teachers and a guide for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It covers poetry in the elegiac and iambic genres, as well as melic poetry which is provisionally divided into the personal and the public. The book takes a critical look at scholarly trends applied in interpreting this poetry, exploring, for example, the problems of defining the nature of the elegiac genre, the origins of iambic poetry, the personal voice used by the poets, and the validity of historical criticism. Appearing in the Classical Tradition series, it considers the impact of modern literary theory on the reading of these texts - for instance the new interpretations suggested by feminism - and guides readers to a full bibliography on scholarly debates from the 19th century to the present.

Book Synopsis Lyric Poetry and Social Identity in Archaic Greece by : Jessica Romney
Download or read book Lyric Poetry and Social Identity in Archaic Greece written by Jessica Romney and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-04-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lyric Poetry and Social Identity in Archaic Greece examines how Greek men presented themselves and their social groups to one another. The author examines identity rhetoric in sympotic lyric: how Greek poets constructed images of self for their groups, focusing in turn on the construction of identity in martial-themed poetry, the protection of group identities in the face of political exile, and the negotiation between individual and group as seen in political lyric. By conducting a close reading of six poems and then a broad survey of martial lyric, exile poetry, political lyric, and sympotic lyric as a whole, Jessica Romney demonstrates that sympotic lyric focuses on the same basic behaviors and values to construct social identities regardless of the content or subgenre of the poems in question. The volume also argues that the performance of identity depends on the context as well as the material of performance. Furthermore, the book demonstrates that sympotic lyric overwhelmingly prefers to use identity rhetoric that insists on the inherent sameness of group members. All non-English text and quotes are translated, with the original languages given alongside the translation or in the endnotes.

Book Synopsis Selections From the Greek Lyric Poets by : Henry M. Tyler
Download or read book Selections From the Greek Lyric Poets written by Henry M. Tyler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the Greek Lyric Poets: With a Historical Introduction and Explanatory Notes It is now twenty-six years since this little collection of Greek poems was first presented to the public as a text-book to be used in our American schools and colleges. In the revision which is now offered it is hoped that the friends whom the book has won may be pleased by its new appearance, and that it may be better fitted to encourage interest in this form of poetry which is so closely connected with the common life of the Greek people. We have no literature which gives a more truthful picture of what the Greeks really were. If we are seeking expressions of the Greek spirit, trying to find the sincerest utterances of Greek feeling, we can search nowhere with better results than among the fragments which are left to us of this popular poetry. The purpose of the book is particularly to suit the needs of students in the first or second year of the college course. It has been my desire to make the notes full enough to enable such students, with reasonable study, to understand the text, and yet to have them brief enough so that one may hope that they will be generally read. Examples of parallel thought and expression have been introduced to a limited extent, but here also I have tried not to weary the attention of the average student. The book is small and might perhaps profitably be larger: its object is to whet appetite, not to surfeit it.

Book Synopsis Greek Lyric Poetry and Its Influence by : Alejandro Cantarero de Salazar
Download or read book Greek Lyric Poetry and Its Influence written by Alejandro Cantarero de Salazar and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with Greek lyric composed more than twenty-five centuries ago. These poems sing of everyday events and emotions in human life, from the most festive to the most serious, presenting a living portrait of the ancient Greeks. This multidisciplinary volume begins with a panorama of Greek lyric poetic genres, their main authors and their representative topics. The first part contains philological studies and literary analyses, first of some Greek poets—Anacreon, Sappho and Lycophron, among others—then of their influence on Horace’s Latin poetry, and on contemporary poetry. The second part, illustrated with colour images, studies Greek lyric from socio-political and iconographic perspectives, analysing its coincidences and reflections in images from Greek pottery, sculptures and reliefs. In addition, this section includes two works on musical theory and composition related to ancient Greek lyric. The volume closes with two studies of the image of Sappho in cinema.

Download or read book Greek Lyric written by Felix Budelmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The corpus of Greek lyric holds a twofold attraction. It provides glimpses of the song culture of early Greece in which lyric performance had a central place, and it presents us with some captivating and memorable poetry which has been admired since antiquity. This edition gathers poems by seven of the nine canonical lyricists (Alcman, Alcaeus, Sappho, Stesichorus, Ibycus, Anacreon, Simonides), as well as a number of carmina popularia and carmina convivalia and passages from Timotheus' Persians. Both longer and shorter pieces are included. The introduction discusses major issues in the study of Greek lyric including genre, performance and transmission. The commentary is literary in emphasis but also treats questions of syntax, textual reconstruction, metre and dialect. The volume will be of interest to higher-level undergraduates and graduate students as well as to scholars.
