This volume's fundamental concern is with how the Greeks conceptualized the experience of poetry and debated the values of that experience. Halliwell offers a series of detailed and challenging interpretations of some of the most defining authors, such as Homer, Plato, and Aristotle, and texts in the history of ancient Greek poetics.
