This book traces the formation of that classical paradigm in the development of ancient storytelling from Homer to Heliodorus. To tell this story, the book sets out to rehabilitate the idea of 'plot', notoriously disconnected from any recognised system of terminology in literary theory. The first part of the book draws on developments in narratology and cognitive science to propose a way of formally describing the way stories are structured and understood. This model is then used to write a history of the emergence of the classical plot type in the four ancient genres that shaped it - Homeric epic, fifth-century tragedy, New Comedy, and the Greek novel - with insights into the fundamental narrative poetics of each. 517 3 $aThe Classical Plot & the Invention of Western Narrative 606 $aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aClassical literature$xStories, plots, etc 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aRhetoric, Ancient 615 0$aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aClassical literature$xStories, plots, etc. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory 615 0$aRhetoric, Ancient. 676 $a880/.09 700 $aLowe$b N.
