There is hardly any Greek narrative text without speech, which need not surprise in the literature of a culture which loved theatre and also invented the art of rhetoric. This book offers a full discussion of the types of speech, the modes of speech and their effective alternation, and the functions of speech from Homer to Heliodorus, including the Gospels. For the first time speech-introductions and ‘speech in speech’ are discussed across all genres. All chapters also pay attention to moments when characters do not speak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface    Introduction: Narratological Theory on Speech   Mathieu de Bakker and Irene de Jong    Part 1 Epic and Elegiac Poetry    1 Homer   Irene de Jong    2 Hesiod   Hugo Koning    3 The Homeric Hymns   Irene de Jong    4 Apollonius of Rhodes   Jacqueline Klooster    5 Callimachus   Annette Harder    6 Theocritus   Jacqueline Klooster    7 Quintus of Smyrna   Silvio Bär    8 Nonnus   Berenice Verhelst    Part 2 Historiography    9 Herodotus   Mathieu de Bakker    10 Thucydides   Tim Rood    11 Xenophon   Luuk Huitink and Tim Rood    12 Polybius   Luuk Pitcher    13 Appian   Luuk Pitcher    14 Cassius Dio   Luuk Pitcher    15 Herodian   Luuk Pitcher    16 Josephus   Jan Willem van Henten and Luuk Huitink    Part 3 Choral Lyric    17 Pindar and Bacchylides   Bruno Currie    Part 4 Drama    18 Aeschylus   Evert van Emde Boas    19 Sophocles   Evert van Emde Boas    20 Euripides   Evert van Emde Boas    Part 5 Oratory    21 Early Orators   Luuk Huitink    22 Later Orators   Mathieu de Bakker    Part 6 Philosophy    23 Plato   Kathryn Morgan    Part 7 Biography    24 Plutarch   Judith Mossman    25 Philostratus   Kristoffel Demoen    Part 8 Christian Narrative    26 Gospels   Michal Beth Dinkler    Part 9 The Novel    27 Chariton   Koen de Temmerman    28 Xenophon of Ephesus   Aldo Tagliabue    29 Achilles Tatius   Koen de Temmerman    30 Longus   John Morgan    31 Heliodorus   John Morgan    Epilogue: Speech in Ancient Greek Narrative   Mathieu de Bakker and Irene de Jong    Glossary  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210832961879,"sku":"9789004498808","price":167.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/speech-in-ancient-greek-literature-studies-in-ancient-greek-narrative-volume-five-9789004498808","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
