For the third seminar in the series, Prof. Tim Whitmarsh, Co-director of CCGS, asks why the Greeks wrote poetry during the Roman Empire? He discusses what they wrote about and whether they followed traditional patterns, or innovated: did they use the old quantitative metres, or the new stress rhythms? He considers a range of poetic devices, with a particular emphasis on popular poetry, and introduces new evidence.
