First edition. The Winged Word examines one of the most elaborate of oral compositional techniques and styles: that of the ancient Greek epos. It explains how singers like Homer and Hesiod could compose complicated verses at the speed of speech and how a singer s words could grow into compositions of massive complexity without dependence on memorization or written texts.
