محاضرة خمسة
In Ancient Greece: - Homer’s poetry was not a book that readers read; it was an oral culture that people
- The great Greek tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides were not plays that people read in books
- Greek culture was a “living culture” In Ancient Rome - Greek culture became books that had no connection to everyday life and to average people
- Greek books were written in a language (Greek) that most of the Romans didn’t speak and belonged to an era in the past that Romans had no knowledge of.
- In Rome, Greek culture was not a living culture anymore. It was a “museum” culture. Some aristocrats used it to show off,
- Roman literature and criticism emerged as an attempt to imitate that Greek culture that was now preserved in books.
- The Romans did not engage the culture of Greece to make it inform and inspire their resent; they reproduced the books.
- Florence Dupont makes a useful distinction between “Living Culture” (in Greece) and “Monument culture”
