This book deals with Greek lyric composed more than twenty-five centuries ago. These poems sing of everyday events and emotions in human life, from the most festive to the most serious, presenting a living portrait of the ancient Greeks. This multidisciplinary volume begins with a panorama of Greek lyric poetic genres, their main authors and their representative topics. The first part contains philological studies and literary analyses, first of some Greek poets-Anacreon, Sappho and Lycophron, among others-then of their influence on Horace's Latin poetry, and on contemporary poetry. The second part, illustrated with colour images, studies Greek lyric from socio-political and iconographic perspectives, analysing its coincidences and reflections in images from Greek pottery, sculptures and reliefs. In addition, this section includes two works on musical theory and composition related to ancient Greek lyric. The volume closes with two studies of the image of Sappho in cinema.

"In The Reception of Greek Lyric Poetry in the Ancient World: Transmission, Canonization and Paratext, a team of international scholars consider the afterlife of early Greek lyric poetry (iambic, elegiac, and melic) up to the 12th century CE, from a variety of intersecting perspectives: reperformance, textualization, the direct and indirect tradition, anthologies, poets' Lives, and the disquisitions of philosophers and scholars. Particular attention is given to the poets Tyrtaeus, Solon, Theognis, Sappho, Alcaeus, Stesichorus, Pindar, and Timotheus. Consideration is given to their reception in authors such as Aristophanes, Herodotus, Plato, Plutarch, Athenaeus, Aelius Aristides, Catullus, Horace, Virgil, Ovid, and Statius, as well as their discussion by Peripatetic scholars, the Hellenistic scholia to Pindar, Horace's commentator Porphyrio, and Eustathius on Pindar"--

Durant de nombreuses années, la poésie astrologique grecque et latine n'est restée connue que d'un cercle restreint de spécialistes versés dans le domaine. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de proposer une vision d'ensemble de ces poèmes, en présentant tous les poèmes et fragments de poèmes astrologiques grecs et latins qui ont été conservés depuis la période hellénistique jusqu'à l'Antiquité tardive. Étant donné la forme métrique et le contenu technique de ces compositions, l'enjeu est de considérer l'interaction de ce corpus avec le genre de la poésie didactique, afin de mieux définir la place de ces poèmes astrologiques dans l'histoire littéraire gréco-latine.

This book proposes to rethink kinship in early Greek epic poetry. The author interprets, according to the criterion of gender, the discursive form and the narrative function of the genealogical relations as they are expressed in archaic Greek epic poetry. The focus on the analytic female catalogues attested in this corpus enables the advancement of the hypothesis of the existence of a female-centered poetic tradition that sang the klea gynaikôn in terms of kinship and procreation.
