In this groundbreaking work, Claude Calame argues that the songs
sung by choruses of young girls in ancient Greek poetry are more
than literary texts; rather, they functioned as initiatory rituals
in Greek cult practices. Using semiotic and anthropologic theory,
Calame reconstructs the religious and social institutions
surrounding the songs, demonstrating their function in an aesthetic
education that permitted the young girls to achieve the stature of
womanhood and to be integrated into the adult civic community. This
first English edition includes an updated bibliography.
