This is the first book to give an introduction to all genres of early hexameter poetry. It introduces readers to extant and fragmentary works, and is an ideal source for up-to-date research on literary criticism and literary form, mythology and genre, language and metre, and performance and music.
This is the first book to give an introduction to all genres of early Greek hexameter poetry; not only heroic legend and the origins of the gods, but also wisdom literature, genealogy, oracles, and epigraphy. It introduces both apprentice and expert readers to the extant poems and to the fragments of some lost poems. Some useful tools can be found here which do not exist anywhere else: a list of all known early hexameter inscriptions; a catalogue of evidence for ''cropping and splicing'' of poems in ancient editions; an index of the editions of over a hundred fragmentary poets and poems. This book offers the most up-to-date research on literary criticism and literary form, mythology and genre, language and metre, and performance and music.
