This is the first monograph entirely devoted to the corpus of
late-classical Greek lyric poetry. Not only have the dithyrambs and
kitharodic nomes of the New Musicians Timotheus and Philoxenus, the
hymns of Aristotle and Ariphron, and the epigraphic paeans of
Philodamus of Scarpheia and Isyllus of Epidaurus never been studied
together, they have also remained hidden behind a series of
critical prejudices - political, literary and aesthetic. Professor
LeVen's book provides readings of these little-known poems and
combines engagement with the style, narrative technique, poetics
and reception of the texts with attention to the socio-cultural
forces that shaped them. In examining the protean notions of
tradition and innovation, the book contributes to the current
re-evaluation of the landscape of Greek poetry and performance in
the late classical period and bridges a gap in our understanding of
Greek literary history between the early classical and the
Hellenistic periods.
