Orality and written law.This volume represents the sixth in the series on Orality and Literacy in the Ancient Greek and Roman Worlds. The present work comprises a collection of essays that explore the tensions and controversies that arise as a society moves from an oral to literate culture. Part 1 deals with both Homeric and other forms of epic; part 2 explores different ways in which texts and writing were manipulated for political ends. Part 3 and 4 deals with the controversies surrounding the adoption of writing as the accepted mode of communication; whereas some segments of society began to privilege writing over oral communication, others continued to maintain that the latter was superior. Part 4 looks at the oral elements of Athenian Law.Orality and literacy in ancient Greece ;v. 6.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum ;280.Greek literatureHistory and criticismTransmission of textsGreeceOral communicationGreeceLanguage and cultureGreeceOral traditionGreeceGreek literatureHistory and criticism.Transmission of textsOral communicationLanguage and cultureOral tradition880.9/001Cooper Craig R(Craig Richard),1960-1130970MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996237242203316Politics of orality2706676UNISA
