Their topics range from Homer and Hesiod to the New Testament and Gaius? Institutes , from epic poetry and drama to vase painting, historiography, mythography, and the philosophical letter. Repeatedly they return to certain issues. Writing and orality are not mutually exclusive, and their interaction is not always in a single direction. Authors, whether they use writing or not, try to control the responses of a listening audience. A variable tradition can be fixed, not just by writing as a technology, but by such different processes as the establishment of a Panhellenic version of an Attic myth and a Hellenistic city?s creation of a single celebratory history. 410 0$aOrality and literacy in the ancient world ;$vVolume 10. 606 $aOral communication$zGreece$vCongresses 606 $aOral communication$zRome$vCongresses 606 $aWritten communication$zGreece$vCongresses 606 $aWritten communication$zRome$vCongresses 606 $aTransmission of texts$zGreece$vCongresses 606 $aTransmission of texts$zRome$vCongresses 606 $aOral tradition in literature$zGreece$vCongresses 606 $aOral tradition in literature$zRome$vCongresses 606 $aOral-formulaic analysis$vCongresses 615 0$aOral communication 615 0$aOral communication 615 0$aWritten communication 615 0$aWritten communication 615 0$aTransmission of texts 615 0$aTransmission of texts 615 0$aOral tradition in literature 615 0$aOral tradition in literature 615 0$aOral-formulaic analysis 676 $a302.2/24093 702 $aScodel$b Ruth 712 12$aInternational Conference on Orality and Literacy in the Ancient World 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824833503321 996 $aBetween orality and literacy$92296564 997 $aUNINA
