This book explores the persona of the artist in Archaic and
Classical Greek art and literature. Guy Hedreen argues that
artistic subjectivity, first expressed in Athenian vase-painting of
the sixth century BCE and intensively explored by Euphronios,
developed alongside a self-consciously constructed persona of the
poet. He explains how poets like Archilochos and Hipponax
identified with the wily Homeric character of Odysseus as a
prototype of the successful narrator, and how the lame yet
resourceful artist-god Hephaistos is emulated by Archaic
vase-painters such as Kleitias. In lyric poetry and pictorial art,
Hedreen traces a widespread conception of the artist or poet as
socially marginal, and sometimes physically imperfect, but
rhetorically clever, technically peerless, and a master of fiction.
Bringing together in a sustained analysis the roots of subjectivity
across media, this book offers a new way of studying the
relationship between poetry and art in ancient Greece.
