Poetic and Performative Memory in Ancient Greece: Heroic Reference and Ritual Gestures in Time and Space - Hellenic Studies Series
Claude Calame
The Ancient Greeks not only spoke of time unfolding in a specific space, but also projected the past upon the future in order to make it active in the social practice of the present. This book shows how the Ancient Greeks’ collective memory was based on a remarkable faculty for the creation of ritual and narrative symbols.
