Excerpt from De Ratione, Quae Inter Carminum Epicorum Prooemia Et Hymnicam Graecorum Poesin Intercedere Videatur: Dissertatio Inauguralis
Wenn die Rhapsoden an den Gòttcrfesteu vortrngen, schickte es sich, dass sie der heroischen Erzìîhlung eine Huldigung gegen den Gott vorausscbickten, dem das Fest galt. Wie es naho lag, hat sich daraus hic und da cin cient entwickelt, das von den Taten, namentlich von der Geburt des Gottes statt von einem beliebigeu Abenteuer vor Ilion oder Thcbeu handelte.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the connections between the hymns of ancient Greece and the prologues of Greek epic poems. The author argues that epic prologues were not simply ways to introduce characters or summarize plot; rather, they were a form of religious invocation. By calling upon the gods and goddesses, the poets created a sense of awe and wonder that prepared the audience for the epic journey to come. The book draws on a wide range of evidence, from the works of Homer and Hesiod to the later epics of Virgil and Apollonius. The author shows how the hymns and prologues share similar language, structure, and themes. This book offers a new and insightful perspective on the origins and development of epic poetry. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in classical literature, religion, or the history of storytelling.
