Paths of Song: The Lyric Dimension of Greek Tragedy analyzes the
multiple and varied evocations of choral lyric in fifth-century
Greek tragedy using a variety of methodological approaches that
illustrate the myriad forms through which lyric is present and can
be presented in tragedy. This collection focuses on different types
of interaction of Greek tragedy with lyric poetry in fifth-century
Athens: generic, mythological, cultural, musical, and performative.
The collected essays demonstrate the dynamic and nuanced
relationship between lyric poetry and tragedy within the larger
frame of Athenian song- and performance-culture, and reveal a
vibrant and symbiotic co-existence between tragedy and lyric. Paths
of Song illustrates the effects that this dynamic engagement with
lyric possibly had on tragic performances, including performances
of satyr drama, as well as on processes of survival and reputation,
selection and refiguration, tradition and innovation. The volume is
of particular interest to scholars in the field of classics,
cultural studies, and the performing arts, as well as to readers
interested in poetic transmission and in cultural evolution in
antiquity.
