Aelius Aristides and the Poetics of Lyric in Imperial Greek Culture - Greek Culture in the Roman World
Modini, Francesca (University of Warwick)
This is the first major study of Greek lyric poetry in imperial Greek culture. It shows how knowledge of lyric enabled imperial writers to demonstrate a more sophisticated level of paideia; and reveals how lyric traditions mobilised distinctive discourses of self-fashioning, local identity, community-making and power crucial for Greeks under Rome.
