Between Ecstasy and Truth: Interpretations of Greek Poetics from Homer to Longinus
Halliwell, Stephen (Professor of Greek, University of St. Andrews.)
This volume's fundamental concern is with how the Greeks conceptualized the experience of poetry and debated the values of that experience. Halliwell offers a series of detailed and challenging interpretations of some of the most defining authors, such as Homer, Plato, and Aristotle, and texts in the history of ancient Greek poetics.
