Cooper (classics, U. of Winnipeg, Canada) presents 18 papers from the sixth conference on Orality and Literacy in Ancient Greece, held in July of 2004 at his home institution. The papers explore with the political and cultural tensions of shifting oral and textual traditions among the Greeks, as well as issues of oral and textual literacy among other peoples that may shed light on similar issues among the Ancient Greeks. Specific topics include variant tellings of the African Mwindo Epic as forms of social and political deliberation; values bias in the scholarship of orality; the role of written lists of military personnel in the development of Athenian literacy; the purpose of state textual production of the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides; the use of textual and oral evidence in Aeschine's oratory Against Timarchus; oral procedures of Roman peacemaking; the reception and politics of Thucydides' History among his contemporaries; the origins of text-dependent moral education of the Athenian elite; Greek transliterations of Near Eastern languages in the Hellenistic East; and the contested of oral vs. written sources of Athenian law.
