This volume deals with the submerged literature of ancient Greece;
that is, all the texts produced for socially relevant events that
have contributed to the configuration and articulation of ancient
Greek culture as we know it. In particular, the hermeneutic tool of
submerged literature may shed new light on the dynamics behind the
'emersion' or 'submersion' of certain texts during different
periods. The category of submerged literature is extended here to
include preserved and lost texts as well as those texts that can be
reconstructed through investigation. The volume investigates the
manifold speech acts that we know of through various sources and
that, either from the outset or over the course of time, have been
placed at the edge of diffusion, conservation and transmission. The
essays contained in the volume deal with questions of hermeneutics,
philology and methodology, as well as with epic cycles, lyric
poetry, tragedy, comedy, satyr drama, and mime. By approaching
these genres from the perspective of submerged literature, the book
tries to provide a more precise contextualization of the texts
within the communication system of ancient Greece. The book thus
presents a new line of research and a series of studies that take a
fresh look at the texts and all archaeological and iconographic
sources relating to Greek culture, taking into account the results
of ethnographic and anthropological research. This extensive
investigation examines unique ancient Greek orality and literacy
dynamics using a new hermeneutic frame that will hopefully reshape
our understanding of ancient Greek culture.
