Lyrical Intromisions in Odyssey
Main Article Content
Abstract
The origin of lyrical compositions in Classical Greek Literature is often explained by using as initial testimony passages from the Iliad, which refer to a paian (I.472), to a hymenaios (XVI.182) or to danced songs (XVIII.560-570 and 590-605). The aim of the present article is to analyse three passages in which it is possible to explore, within the Odyssey, the play of a performance of choral lyric discourses flowing under the coercion of the epic format. We address Penelope's lament in book 4.722-734, the presence of a parthéneion setting in book 6.99-109 and the version of thrênos singed by the Muses at the funeral for Achilles in book 24.58-62.
