From Homer to Sophocles and Greek Middle Comedy, and from Plato and
Protagoras to Ovid, this volume features a panoramic and
cross-generic overview of the diverse handling and ad hoc
elaboration of the overarching literary notions of "time" and
"space". The twenty-one contributions of this volume written by an
international group of esteemed scholars provide an equal number of
hermeneutic approaches to individual, distinct aspects of Greek and
Latin literature. The volume is purposely designed not as a linear
display of knowledge, but rather as an anthology of select
paradigms that aim to demonstrate the multidimensional function and
multifaceted role of the twin notions of "time" and "space"
throughout ancient Greek and Latin literary texts. The volume opens
with analyses of conspicuous cases from epic poetry, proceeds with
examples from drama (tragedy and comedy), and concludes with
diverse instances of chronotopes (empirical, imaginary, and even
shifting ones), in various literary genres. The volume is of
greatest relevance since it meets the cultural and theoretical
trends of today's Classics. It therefore will attract not only the
interest of specialised Classicists but it is also intended for a
wider general readership.
