Book Synopsis The Dance in Ancient Greece by : Lillian Beatrice Lawler

Download or read book The Dance in Ancient Greece written by Lillian Beatrice Lawler and published by Wesleyan. This book was released on 1965 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an academic yet non-technical introduction and overview of ancient Greek dance. Dance was very important to the ancient Greeks, associated with music, verse, and the theatre. Processions, games, and performances involving dance were popular and widespread in Greek culture. Lawler lists seven types of sources for her work: literary, metrical, musical, archaeological, epigraphical, linguistic, and anthropological, and explores the forms, occasions, and participants involved with ancient Greek dances. Literary sources are numerous and rich and Lawler suggests reading them will give more insights into ancient Greek dance. Metrical sources include actual treatises on metrics as well as actual lines of verse used for dance. Much of the metrical material is fragmentary, while musical sources include discussions of music by writers as well as mostly fragmentary musical remains.
