Description
Challenging established narratives of literary history, this book explores how the earliest known Greek poets signposted their debts to their predecessors and prior traditions. Such signposting has been considered the preserve of later bookish cultures, but Thomas Nelson shows that these devices were already ingrained in oral archaic Greek poetry.
