Lefkowitz has extensively revised and rewritten her classic study to introduce a new generation of students to the lives of the Greek poets. Thoroughly updated with references to the most recent scholarship, this second edition includes new material and fresh analysis of the ancient biographies of Greece's most famous poets. With little or no independent historical information to draw on, ancient writers searched for biographical data in the poets' own works and in comic poetry about them. Lefkowitz describes how biographical mythology was created and offers a sympathetic account of how individual biographers reconstructed the poets' lives. She argues that the life stories of Greek poets, even though primarily fictional, still merit close consideration, as they provide modern readers with insight into ancient notions about the creative process and the purpose of poetic composition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis second edition is enriched by references to recent studies as well as by deeper analysis. * L'Antiquité Classique (Bloomsbury translation) *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Introduction  Hesiod  Homer  Eight Archaic Poets  Solon  Simonides  Pindar  Aeschylus  Sophocles  Euripides  Comic Poets  Hellenistic Poets  Conclusion  Abbreviations  Bibliography  Notes  Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771451670871,"sku":"9781780930893","price":35.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-lives-of-the-greek-poets-9781780930893","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
