This chapter examines how both Pindar and Aeschylus invoke snakes as an example of how bodies, no less than voices, are rendered multiform through the reenactment of choral performance.

Summary

This chapter demonstrates how Pindar’s and Aeschylus’ unusual, yet shared, approach to embedded speech (oratio recta) reflects a common interest in performance as reenactment. It is argued that their distinctive mode of duplicating voices through the “meta-language” of embedded speech stands as an emblem of choral mimesis more broadly.

Summary

This introduction calls into question the communis opino that the works of Pindar and Aeschylus are defined, and thus divided, by genre and performance context.

Summary

This chapter explores how, despite their common interest in reenactment, Pindar and Aeschylus treat space in different ways. Drawing on recent theoretical advances in performance studies, it is shown how the appearance of ghosts in the works of Pindar and Aeschylus allows us to better appreciate how drama creates a firmer spatial matrix than lyric performance.

What would Pindar and Aeschylus have talked about had they met at some point during their overlapping poetic careers? How do we map the space shared by these two fifth-century choral poets? In the first book-length comparative study of Pindar and Aeschylus in over six decades, Anna S. Uhlig pushes back against the prevailing tendency to privilege interpretive frames that highlight the differences in their works. Instead, she adopts a more inclusive category of choral performance, one in which both poets are shown to be grappling to understand how the vivid here and now of their compositions are in fact a reenactment of voices and bodies from elsewhere. Pairing close readings of the ancient texts with insights from modern performance studies, Uhlig offers a novel perspective on the 'song culture' of early fifth-century BC Greece.
