This is the second volume on the mechanisms of oral communication
in ancient Greece, focused on epic poetry, a genre with deep roots
in orality. Considering the critical debate about orality and its
influence on the composition, diffusion and transmission of the
archaic epic poems, the survey provides a reconsideration and a
reassessment of the traces of orality in the archaic epic poetry,
following their adaptation in the synchronic and diachronic changes
of the communicative system. Combining the methods of cognitive
science, and the historical and literary analysis of the texts, the
research explores the complexity of the literary message of the
Greek epic poetry, highlighting its position in a system of oral
communication. The consideration of structural and formal aspects,
i.e. the traces of orality in the narrative architecture, in the
epic diction, in the meter and the formulaic system, as well as the
vestiges of the mixture of orality and writing, allows to
reconstruct a dynamic frame of communicative modalities which
influenced and enriched the archaic epic poetry, providing it with
expressive potentialities destined to a longlasting permanence in
the history of the genre.
