Escritura Y Literatura En La Grecia Arcaica by Juan Signes Codoñer

A concise study of how the adoption of the alphabet reshaped cultural production in early Greece, tracing the interplay between oral performance and written record from the eighth to sixth centuries BCE. It surveys epic and didactic poetry alongside lyric, elegy, and iambus, situating figures such as Homer, Hesiod, Sappho, and Archilochus within their social, political, and performative contexts. Drawing on inscriptions, laws, dedications, and textual transmission, it explores literacy levels, authorship, memory, and genre formation in the evolving polis. The result is a synthesis of sources and debates that illuminates the transition from oral tradition to a literate literary culture.
