What would Pindar and Aeschylus have talked about had they met at
some point during their overlapping poetic careers? How do we map
the space shared by these two fifth-century choral poets? In the
first book-length comparative study of Pindar and Aeschylus in over
six decades, Anna S. Uhlig pushes back against the prevailing
tendency to privilege interpretive frames that highlight the
differences in their works. Instead, she adopts a more inclusive
category of choral performance, one in which both poets are shown
to be grappling to understand how the vivid here and now of their
compositions are in fact a reenactment of voices and bodies from
elsewhere. Pairing close readings of the ancient texts with
insights from modern performance studies, Uhlig offers a novel
perspective on the 'song culture' of early fifth-century BC Greece.
