Show other versions (1)

The book discusses short, non-epic, and under-appreciated hexametrical genres, such as oracles, incantations, and laments, and gains new insight into their ritual performance, their early history, and how poets from Homer to Theocritus embedded or imitated these genres to enrich their own poems.
