Greek poetry was not for hereafter, writes Eva Stehle, but shared in the present mirth and laughter of festival, ceremony, and party. Describing how men and women, young and adult, sang or recited in public settings, Stehle treats poetry as an occasion for the performers selfpresentation. She discusses a wide range of preHellenistic poetry, including Sapphos, compares how men and women speak about themselves, and constructs an innovative approach to performance that illuminates gender ideology.
