Book Synopsis
By conducting a close reading of six poems and then a broad survey of martial lyric, exile poetry, political lyric, and sympotic lyric as a whole, Jessica Romney demonstrates that sympotic lyric focuses on the same basic behaviours and values to construct social identities regardless of the content or subgenre of the poems in question.

Trade Review
Lyric Poetry and Social Identity in Archaic Greece offers a new take on the creation of archaic elite identities . . . The approach to the texts is innovative, the argument is persuasive, and the close readings are insightful." —Pamela Gordon, University of Kansas
