Description
Sappho in the Making: A New Approach to Understanding Her Reception. This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary study of how Sappho's poetry was received and interpreted in ancient Greece. Dimitrios Yatromanolakis explores the cultural practices and ideological paradigms that shaped our understanding of her work, tracing the development of "Sappho" over several centuries. By examining visual representations and ancient texts, Yatromanolakis reveals how Sappho's poetry was assimilated into diverse social, aesthetic, and performative contexts. This analysis draws on a range of disciplines, including archaeology, papyrology, and anthropology, to provide a nuanced understanding of the reception of archaic Greek socioaesthetic cultures. Through its systematic examination of contextual cues, this book articulates a new methodological approach to the study of ancient Greek poetry and culture.
