The Development of the Epyllion Genre Through the Hellenistic and Roman Periods available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The epyllion as a genre was developed in the Hellenistic period (and continued into Roman times) in order to show what else was happening while traditional heroic stories, always narrated in epics with particular conventions, were happening. The epyllion challenges these conventions in ways that make it a genre in its own right. This study examines its development through the Hellenistic and Roman periods, focusing on unheroic and female characters.

Brill’s Companion to Greek and Latin Epyllion and Its Reception available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In classical scholarship of the past two centuries, the term “epyllion” was used to label short hexametric texts mainly ascribable to the Hellenistic period (Greek) or the Neoterics (Latin). Apart from their brevity, characteristics such as a predilection for episodic narration or female characters were regarded as typically “epyllic” features. However, in Antiquity itself, the texts we call “epyllia” were not considered a coherent genre, which seems to be an innovation of the late 18th century. The contributions in this book not only re-examine some important (and some lesser known) Greek and Latin primary texts, but also critically reconsider the theoretical discourses attached to it, and also sketch their literary and scholarly reception in the Byzantine and Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Modern Age.

Download and read online ebook Narratology and Interpretation write by Jonas Grethlein. This book was released on 2009-08-17. Narratology and Interpretation available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The categories of classical narratology have been successfully applied to ancient texts in the last two decades, but in the meantime narratological theory has moved on. In accordance with these developments, Narratology and Interpretation draws out the subtler possibilities of narratological analysis for the interpretation of ancient texts. The contributions explore the heuristic fruitfulness of various narratological categories and show that, in combination with other approaches such as studies in deixis, performance studies and reader-response theory, narratology can help to elucidate the content of narrative form. Besides exploring new theoretical avenues and offering exemplary readings of ancient epic, lyric, tragedy and historiography, the volume also investigates ancient predecessors of narratology.
