It employs the concept of the chronotope, which refers to the phenomenon whereby the spatial and temporal frameworks explicit or implicit in a text have the same structure, and uncovers various such chronotopes in Homer, the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, Presocratic philosophy and in particular the tragedies of Aeschylus. Mikhail Bakhtin's pioneering use of the chronotope was in literary analysis. This study by contrast derives the variety of chronotopes manifest in Greek texts from the variety of socially integrative practices in the developing polis - notably reciprocity, collective ritual and monetised exchange. In particular, the Oresteia of Aeschylus embodies the reassuring absorption of the new and threatening monetised chronotope into the traditional chronotope that arises from collective ritual with its aetiological myth. This argument includes the first ever demonstration of the profound affinities between Aeschylus and the (Presocratic) philosophy of his time. 517 3 $aCosmology & the Polis 606 $aCosmology in literature 606 $aSpace and time in literature 606 $aSocial interaction in literature 606 $aMoney in literature 606 $aRitual in literature 606 $aGreek drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 615 0$aCosmology in literature. 615 0$aSpace and time in literature. 615 0$aSocial interaction in literature. 615 0$aMoney in literature. 615 0$aRitual in literature. 615 0$aGreek drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 676 $a882/.01 686 $aLCO003000$2bisacsh 686 $a6,12$2ssgn 700 $aSeaford$b Richard$0186449 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778954903321 996 $aCosmology and the polis$91140160 997 $aUNINA
