This collection presents 19 interconnected studies on the language,
history, exegesis, and cultural setting of Greek epic and dramatic
poetic texts ("Text") and their afterlives ("Intertext") in
Antiquity. Spanning texts from Hittite archives to Homer to Greek
tragedy and comedy to Vergil to Celsus, the studies here were all
written by friends and colleagues of Margalit Finkelberg who are
experts in their particular fields, and who have all been
influenced by her work. The papers offer close readings of
individual lines and discussion of widespread cultural phenomena.
Readers will encounter Hittite precedents to the Homeric poems,
characters in ancient epic analysed by modern cognitive theory, the
use of Homer in Christian polemic, tragic themes of love and
murder, a history of the Sphinx, and more. Text and Intertext in
Greek Epic and Drama offers a selection of fascinating essays
exploring Greek epic, drama, and their reception and adaption by
other ancient authors, and will be of interest to anyone working on
Greek literature.
