Greek lyric poetry encompassed a wide range of types of poem, from
elegy to iambos and dithyramb to epinician. It particularly
flourished in the Archaic and Classical periods, and some of its
practitioners, such as Sappho and Pindar, had significant cultural
influence in subsequent centuries down to the present day. This
Companion provides an accessible introduction to this fascinating
and diverse body of poetry and its later reception. It takes
account of the exciting new papyrus finds and new critical
approaches which have greatly advanced our understanding of both
the corpus itself and of the sociocultural contexts in which lyric
pieces were produced, performed and transmitted. Each chapter is
provided with a guide to further reading, and the volume includes a
chronology, glossary and guide to editions and translations.
