迷狂与真实之间：从荷马到朗吉努斯的希腊诗学诠释
(uk) Halliwell
Ancient Greek culture not only gave birth to one of the most outstanding poetic traditions, but also produced a major tradition of poetic theory and poetry criticism. Halliwell's book provides a series of detailed and challenging readings of many important authors and texts in the history of ancient Greek poetry. Its central focus is on how the Greeks conceptualized poetic experience and debated the value of this poetic experience. The overarching theme of the book is the recurring dialectic in ancient Greek conceptions of poetry: poetry is on the one hand an inherently gripping experience (an ecstasy), and on the other hand it is a medium that conveys truth and thus profoundly affects the reader's worldview.
