Prality, Literacy, Memory in the Ancient Greek and Roman World

Mackay, E Anne

These essays deal with memory and its role in the production of literature, all but one looking at Greece. Classical authors frequently quote from memory, poets write about personal experiences, and orators and historians attempt to reconstruct the past from social memory, and all of these facets are here examined. Topics and featured authors include Homer, Sappho, Aeschylus, Plato and the Res Gestae, along with the naval catalogue, oratory and broader theoretical issues. 281p b/w pls (Brill 2008)
