There is hardly any Greek narrative text without speech, which need not surprise in the literature of a culture which loved theatre and also invented the art of rhetoric. This book offers a full discussion of the types of speech, the modes of speech and their effective alternation, and the functions of speech from Homer to Heliodorus, including the Gospels. For the first time speech-introductions and 'speech in speech' are discussed across all genres. All chapters also pay attention to moments when characters do not speak"-- CN - PA3015.S74 S64 2022 SN - 9789004498815 SN - 9004498818 SN - 9789004498808 KW - Greek literature : History and criticism.
