Abstract
The genre of the epigram is a privileged field of investigation for the study of women’s voices in Greek poetry. Aim of this paper is to investigate some selected male-authored poems, centered on the expression of women’s voices, belonging to two categories, whose labile boundaries easily allow to fade into each other: epigrams focused on little-known women engaged in the domain of the Muses (women poetesses, but also singers, citharodes); and epigrams centered on the practice of female singing and telling myths connected to every day labour| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
