Acusilaus of Argos' Rhapsody in Prose : Dissertationsschrift (Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes 70) (2019. XVI, 186 S. 230 mm)

§16§§This volume is a full-scale commentary on the extant fragments of Acusilaus of Argos, commonly regarded as one of the earliest Greek mythographers (VI-V cent. BCE). To encapsulate his contribution to archaic literature, his book on Genealogies is described as a "Rhapsody in Prose", that foregrounds especially the exegetical nature of his book, which rewrote the most ancient past on the basis of the most authoritative epic poems.§ §02§Ilaria Andolfi, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany.
