Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This literary analysis examines the significance of moral and proverbial statements in the works of Greek poets, from Homer to Euripides. The author argues that these statements were far from superficial, and instead signaled an established way of thinking, expressing values and shared knowledge within Greek society. By studying the structure, context, and function of these statements, the author reveals a distinctive Greek understanding of morality, one where reason and rhetoric intersected with the expression of fundamental beliefs. The book traces the evolution of these statements, showing how they came to serve as building blocks for larger narratives and even entire dramas, contributing to the development of Greek literature and reflecting the evolving moral landscape of ancient Greece.
