 Description
This book examines the progress of literacy in ancient Greece from its origins in the eighth century to the fourth century, when the major cultural institutions of Athens became totally dependent on alphabetic literacy. By introducing new evidence and re-evaluating the older evidence, Robb demonstrates that early Greek literacy can be understood only in terms of the rich oral culture that immediately preceded it, one that was dominated by the oral performance of epical verse, or "Homer." Only gradually did literate practices supersede oral habits and the oral way of life, forging alliances which now seem both bizarre and fascinating, but which were eminently successful, contributing to the "miracle" of Greece.

Introduction; Part I. The Origins of Greek Literacy; 1. The Alphabet Enters Oral Greece; 2. The Oral Way of Life at the Inception of Greek Literacy: The Lesson of the Old Inscriptions; 3. Of Muses and Magistrates: From the Exemplum of Epic to the First Written Laws in Europe; Part II. The Alliance between Literacy and the Law; 4. Literacy and Residual Oralism in the Great Code of Gortyn: The Evidence of a Transitional Document; 5. The Progress of Literacy and Written Law in Athens; Part III. The Alliance between Literacy and Paideia
