| |  | | | In Brief
The author "explores how the Homeric poems, stemming from an oral tradition that can be traced to the middle of the second millennium BCE, became the written texts of today. Nagy proposes an evolutionary model with five chronological stages, in which the texts are more or less fluid--from the early oral phases to those in which one can detect the presence of writing in varying degrees." (Choice) Bibliography. Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
From the Archaic through the Hellenistic periods of ancient Greece, this comparative study of oral poetics in literate cultures focuses on the problems of textual fluidity in the transmission of Homeric poetry over half a millennium. It stresses the role of performance and performer.
