The Idea of Iambos is a long overdue study of the genre of Greek
iambic poetry from the perspective provided by ancient testimonies.
Andrea Rotstein places research on iambos in the framework of a new
methodological approach to ancient genres based on the cognitive
sciences, offering an unprecedented study of ancient theories of
genres and the way they affected ancient scholarship. Rotstein also
examines the possibility of musical performance of iambic poetry as
well as the various occasions of public performance, particularly
at musical contests and rhapsodic recitals. Finally, she argues
that, from the Archaic to the Classical period, there was a shift
from the notion of literary class depending primarily on rhythm and
on its archetypical representative, Archilochus, towards iambos as
a genre defined mainly by invective as its dominant feature.
