The book is the second volume of a series of studies dealing with
the Submerged literature in ancient Greek culture (s. vol. 1: G.
Colesanti, M. Giordano, eds., Submerged Literature in Ancient Greek
Culture. An Introduction, Berlin-Boston, de Gruyter, 2014). It is a
peculiar starting point of the research in the field of Greek
culture, since it casts a light on many case studies so far not yet
analyzed as literary products subjected to the process of
submersion: e.g. oracles, philosophy, phlyax play, epigrams,
Aesopic fables, periplus, sacred texts, mysteries, medical
treatises, dance, music. Therefore the book investigates the
complex and manifold dynamics of 'emergence' and 'submersion' in
ancient Greek literary culture, dealing especially with matters as
the interaction between orality and literacy, the authorship, the
cultural transmission, the folklore. Moreover, the book offers the
reader new stimulating approaches in order to reconstruct the wide
frame which contained the overall cultural processes, including the
literary products subjected to the submersion, in a chronological
span going from Greek archaic age to the Imperial age.
