This volume proposes a multidisciplinary approach to the history of
Ancient Greek. Each of its ten papers offers a methodological
example of how the study of Greek can be greatly enhanced by a
truly multidisciplinary perspective in which the analysis of
language interacts with epigraphy, textual philology and
comparative linguistics, yet without neglecting the role that
linguistic features play in the texts in which they are used, and
hence in the culture which produced both. The first four papers
tackle epic language, addressing eccentric pronouns and formulas,
the role and semantics of the middle perfect, and the development
of hexameter poetry in the colonial West. The next two papers are
devoted to lyric poetry and its linguistic influence in Greek
literature and tackle fragments by Corinna and Epicharmus
respectively. The remaining four contributions look into a variety
of topics spanning from early Ionic prose to the diachronic
development of the Greek lexicon and its reception in Byzantine
lexicography. They all provide examples of how Greek literary
language evolved across the centuries, how it was perceived by
ancient scholars, and what contribution modern linguistic
approaches can provide to our understanding of both these issues.
