The Epic Rhapsode and His Craft: Homeric Performance in a Diachronic Perspective - Hellenic Studies Series
Jose M. Gonzalez
This book argues that oracular utterance, dramatic acting, and rhetorical delivery powerfully elucidate the practice of epic rhapsodes in Homeric performance. Attention to these domains reveals a shifting dynamic of competition and emulation among rhapsodes, actors, and orators that shaped their texts and their crafts.
