Pinkster , H.W. Pleket , C.J. Ruijgh , D.M. Schenkeveld and P.H. Schrijvers.This volume examines the influence of literacy on the development of different genres of mourning in ancient Greece. The oral tradition of lament in the Homeric poems forms the point of departure for close readings of epigraphic material and written texts commemorating the dead in the archaic and classical periods, including grave epigrams, threnoi, tragedy, and Athenian epitaphioi . These texts reveal the non-linear development of Greek literacy and offer insight into the ongoing influence of lament in diverse poetic genres and the evolving uses of death and mourning in different media. In particular, the discussion focuses on the role of writing in commemorating soldiers and the evolution of the written memorial into a historical and civic medium of communication.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum ;209.Greek literatureHistory and criticismDeath in literatureFuneral rites and ceremoniesGreeceMourning customsGreeceHistoryWritten communicationGreeceMourning customs in literatureGrief in literatureLiteracyGreeceGreeceSocial life and customsGreek literatureHistory and criticism.Death in literature.Funeral rites and ceremoniesMourning customsHistory.Written communicationMourning customs in literature.Grief in literature.Literacy880.9/3548Derderian Katharine1970-688411MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783490803321Leaving words to remember1236078UNINA
