The use of the letter within narrative or as narrative medium is something which the Ancient Greek literary tradition established as central to the western world (especially through the letters of Plato, Hippocrates and the Christian epistolographers). This volume presents detailed literary readings of a wide range of Greek literary letter collections. By comparison of the various narrative strategies taken within Greek epistolary texts across a range of genres, cultural backgrounds, and time periods, the volume takes a significant step towards the appreciation of Greek epistolary collections as a unique literary phenomenon. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum ;$v359. 606 $aGreek letters$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aGreek letters$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a886/.0109 701 $aHodkinson$b Owen$f1979-$0880003 701 $aRosenmeyer$b Patricia A$0188207 701 $aBracke$b Evelien$0880004 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828223503321 996 $aEpistolary narratives in ancient Greek literature$91965060 997 $aUNINA
