For over two centuries-starting with the earliest surviving iambic
poet and elegist, Archilochus-elegy and iambus attracted some of
the finest poetic talents in Greek history and played a major role
in public and private life, surviving as living forms into the
fourth century BC. The study of these poetic forms has been
transformed in recent years by new papyrological finds, yet
historically scholarly attention has tended to focus predominantly
on Greek lyric poetry. This edited collection provides the first
comprehensive exploration devoted specifically to iambus and elegy,
offering an important insight into the key issues within current
research on the genres. Chapters by leading international experts
in the field examine the forms from a broad range of
perspectives-addressing questions of genre definition, performance
and context, authorial voice and style, interactions and
intertexts, and the texts' transmission and reception-and provide a
solid foundation for future research.
