Space and Time in Ancient Greek Narrative
Purves , Alex C. (University of California, Los Angeles)
In this wide-ranging survey of ancient Greek narrative from archaic epic to classical prose, Alex Purves traces a shift in authorial perspective, from a godlike overview to the more focused outlook of human beings caught up in a developing plot, inspired by advances in cartography, travel, and geometry.
