Yearbook of Ancient Greek Epic: Volume 7


Add your own review!

Overview

The volume consists of six papers that propose new approaches to the study of fragmentary Hesiodic epic. They explore interpretive questions referring not only to the better-studied Catalogue of Women and the Aspis, but also to rather neglected epics such as the Megalai Ehoiai, the Melampodia, and the Marriage of Ceyx. In addition, a fair number of the papers included in this volume question the order of the Hesiodic fragments adopted in the edition of R. Merkelbach and M. L. West.
