Summary:

Orality was the backbone of ancient Greek culture throughout its different periods. This volume will serve to deepen the reader's knowledge of how Greek texts circulated during the Roman Empire. The studies included here approach the subject from both a literary and a sociocultural point of view, illuminating the interconnections between literary and social practices. Topics considered include epigraphy, the rhetoric of transmitting the texts, language and speech, performance, theatre, narrative representation, material culture, and the interaction of different cultures.Since orality is a widespread phenomenon in the Greek-speaking world of the Roman Empire, this book draws the reader's attention to under-researched texts and inscriptions.
