Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "The Partheneion, or "maiden song," composed in the seventh century BCE by the Spartan poet Alcman, is the earliest substantial example of a choral lyric. A provocative reinterpretation of the Partheneion and its broader context, this book excavates the poem's cosmological underpinnings and locates its ethical charge in the popular image of a perfectly harmonious universe." "Moving far beyond standard literary interpretations, Gloria Ferrari uncovers this astral symbolism by approaching the poem from sever angles to reconstruct the web of ancient drama, music, religion, painting, and material culture in which it is enmeshed. This bold new analysis significantly deepens our understanding of Greek poetry and the rich culture of Archaic Sparta."--BOOK JACKET. |
