The embrace of reception theory has been one of the hallmarks of
classical studies over the last 30 years. This volume builds on the
critical insights thereby gained to consider reception within Greek
antiquity itself. Reception, like 'intertextuality', places the
emphasis on the creative agency of the later 'receiver' rather than
the unilateral influence of the 'transmitter'. It additionally
shines the spotlight on transitions into new cultural contexts, on
materiality, on intermediality and on the body. Essays range
chronologically from the archaic to the Byzantine periods and
address literature (prose and verse; Greek, Roman and
Greco-Jewish), philosophy, papyri, inscriptions and dance. Whereas
the conventional image of ancient Greek classicism is one of quiet
reverence, this book, by contrast, demonstrates how rumbustious,
heterogeneous and combative it could be.
