This is the first major study of Greek lyric poetry in imperial Greek culture. It shows how knowledge of lyric enabled imperial writers to demonstrate a more sophisticated level of paideia; and reveals how lyric traditions mobilised distinctive discourses of self-fashioning, local identity, community-making and power crucial for Greeks under Rome.
