Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The book explores the complexities of ancient Greek poetry, focusing on the dialects used by various poets. While epic poetry is primarily Ionic, elegy traditionally employs this dialect, even in regions like Sparta and Megara. Choral lyric poets showcase distinct dialects, including Aeolic, Ionic, and Doric, with Aeolic poets being particularly unique. The text highlights the artificial nature of the literary language employed by ancient authors, noting that Homer’s work features forms not found in any specific dialect, illustrating the blend of dialectal influences in classical poetry.
