Time and Space in Ancient Myth, Religion and Culture

0/5 ( ratings)

From Homer to Sophocles and Greek Middle Comedy, and from Plato and Protagoras to Ovid, this volume features a panoramic and cross-generic overview of the diverse handling and ad hoc elaboration of the overarching literary notions of -time- and -space-. The twenty-one contributions of this volume written by an international group of esteemed scholars provide an equal number of hermeneutic approaches to individual, distinct aspects of Greek and Latin literature. The volume is purposely designed not as a linear display of knowledge, but rather as an anthology of select paradigms that aim to demonstrate the multidimensional function and multifaceted role of the twin notions of -time- and -space- throughout ancient Greek and Latin literary texts. The volume opens with analyses of conspicuous cases from epic poetry, proceeds with examples from drama , and concludes with diverse instances of chronotopes , in various literary genres.

The volume is of greatest relevance since it meets the cultural and theoretical trends of today's Classics. It therefore will attract not only the interest of specialised Classicists but it is also intended for a wider general readership.
