Diachrony showcases the importance of diachronic models for the interpretation of ancient Greek literature and culture. These models study the evolution of culture as a system. Contributors to this volume seek to be methodologically explicit as they build a variety of diachronic approaches to a wide range of subjects. The period covered stretches from Homer to Babrius and the topics range from ancient Greek agriculture to Athenian pederasty.

Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
