Présentationde l'éditeur
This is the second volumein a series of volumes which together will provide an entirely new history ofancient Greek (narrative) literature. Its organization is formal rather thanbiographical. It traces the history of central narrative devices, such as thenarrator and his narratees,time, focalization, characterization, and space. Itoffers not only analyses of the handling of such a device by individualauthors, but also a larger historical perspective on the manner in which itchanges over time and is put to different uses by different authors indifferent genres. The present volume deals with time: changes in the order ofevents (analepsis versus prolepsis), the speed of narration (events may berecounted scenically or in the form of a summary), and frequency (events may berecounted once, repeatedly, or not at all).
