The relationship between Latin and Greek literature is one of the
most fundamental questions for Latin literature, and for the
reception of Greek literature. This innovative volume shows some of
the contexts in which the interaction of the literatures should be
viewed. Professor Hutchinson investigates Roman conceptions of
their own literary history and Greek literary history as two
chronological sequences, artificially separated, and takes the
reader around the Mediterranean to see the different places where
Romans encountered Greek art with words. The volume looks at Roman
perceptions of the contrasting Greek and Latin languages, and
compares in detail Latin adaptation of Greek writing with Latin
adaptation of Latin. It views the different approaches to Greek
material, ideas, and works between three prose 'super-genres', and
within the poetic 'super-genre' of hexameters. It is based on an
independent collection of evidence, and draws extensively on
inscriptions, archaeology, papyri, scholia, and a wide range of
texts.
