The sixth-century BC Greek poet Stesichorus was highly esteemed in
antiquity; but by about AD 400 his works had been almost completely
lost. Over recent decades, however, the recovery of substantial
portions of his poetry has enabled a reassessment of his
significance. These essays by leading scholars analyse different
aspects of his oeuvre: the relationship between Stesichorus and
epic, particularly his response to the Homeric poems; his narrative
technique and his handling of erotic themes; and his influence and
reception in fifth-century Athens, in Hellenistic scholarship and
poetry, in the Renaissance, and in poetry today. The volume as a
whole - the first dedicated to this author - amply demonstrates the
extraordinary creativity and continuing vitality of the poet from
Himera.
