Mousikoi Agones and the Conceptualization of Genre in Ancient Greece.Andrea Rotstein - 2012 - Classical Antiquity 31 (1):92-127.details This article inquires into the shaping force that competition at musical contests exercised on ancient perceptions of literary genres, particularly for the non-choral and non-dramatic kinds of the Classical Period. Three musical contests of the fourth century BCE, the Panathenaia, the Amphiaraia, and the Artemisia, are taken as case studies. After a reconstruction of their programs, principles of categorization that spectators might have inferred from the contests are deduced, and modes in which categories of competition and literary genres interacted are (...)

Epinician Variations: Music and Text in Pindar, Pythians 2 and 12.Tom Phillips - 2013 - Classical Quarterly 63 (1):37-56.details The importance of music for epinician, as for all other types of choral performance in Archaic and Classical Greece, has long been recognized, but the exiguousness of the evidence for the compositional principles behind such music, and for what these poems actually sounded like in performance, has limited scholarly enquiries. Examination of Pindar's texts themselves for evidence of his musical practices was for a long time dominated by extensive and often inconclusive debate about the relations between metres and modes.

A dithyramb for Augustus: Horace, odes 4.2.Alex Hardie - 2015 - Classical Quarterly 65 (1):253-285.details Odes4.2 ostensibly looks forward to two public events lying at some indeterminate point in the future, Augustus' return from campaign in Gaul, and a triumph over the Sygambri. The celebrations anticipated for these occasions frame the second half of the ode; but they do not supply its dramatic setting or timing, and the latter is evidently associated with the period following Augustus' departure for Gaul in summer 16b.c., or at any rate with a time when the Sygambri were felt still (...)

Pindar's Pythian 11 and the Oresteia: Contestatory Ritual Poetics in the 5th c. BCE.Leslie Kurke - 2013 - Classical Antiquity 32 (1):101-175.details The scholiasts offer two different dates for the Pythian victory of the Theban Thrasydaios celebrated in Pindar's eleventh Pythian ode: 474 or 454 bce. Following several older scholars, I accept the latter date, mainly because Pindar's myth in this poem is a mini-Oresteia, teeming with what seem to be echoes of the language, plotting, and sequencing of Aischylos' trilogy of 458 bce, as well as allusions to the genre of tragedy in general. Yet even those scholars who have argued for (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
The return of Hephaistos, Dionysiac procession ritual, and the creation of a visual narrative.Guy Hedreen - 2004 - Journal of Hellenic Studies 124:38-64.details The return of Hephaistos to Olympos, as a myth, concerns the establishment of a balance of power among the Olympian gods. Many visual representations of the myth in Archaic and Classical Greek art give visible form to the same theme, but they do so in a manner entirely distinct from the manner in which it is expressed in literary narratives of the tale. In this paper, I argue that vase-painters incorporated elements of Dionysiac processional ritual into representations of the return (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 6 citations
