This collection is the fifth volume in a series that memorializes events sponsored by the Network for the Study of Archaic and Classical Greek Song. Most of its essays were presented at the University of Reading in the Summer of 2013 in a conference on the reception of Greek lyric poetry from 600 BCE through 400 CE. The volume consists of a detailed introduction and 21 essays arranged into seven parts in terms of theme and time. In size, it is imposing; in scope, it is inspiring. The essays approach reception broadly with studies on topics that range from the early canonization of Greek lyric to the scholarly practices in Byzantine commentaries. Yet, this wide range of topics foregrounds a straightforward premise: we must contend with reception for a fuller understanding of melic, iambic, and elegiac poetry of the seventh through the fifth centuries BCE. To be sure, readers will find much with which to agree as well as much that is problematic here.
