| Description: |
Throughout, he progressively broadens the definition of lyric to the point where it becomes the basis for defining epic, rather than the other way around. |
| Synopsis: |
Nagy challenges the widely held view that the development of lyric poetry in Greece represents the rise of individual innovation over collective tradition. Arguing that Greek lyric represents a tradition in its own right, Nagy shows how the form of Greek epic is in fact a differentiation of forms found in Greek lyric. Throughout, he progressively broadens the definition of lyric to the point where it becomes the basis for defining epic, rather than the other way around. |
