Poetic and Performative Memory in Ancient Greece: Heroic Reference and Ritual Gestures in Time and Space (Hellenic Studies) (Hellenic Studies Series)

by Claude Calame (Author)

Synopsis

Philosophers have often reflected on the Ancient Greeks' concepts of time, but an anthropological approach is necessary to understand their practical concept of time as tied to space. This work shows how the Ancient Greeks' collective memory was based on a remarkable faculty for the creation of ritual and narrative symbols.
