The book delves into the role of Greek poetry as a vibrant medium for self-expression during public festivities, emphasizing its performative nature. Eva Stehle examines a variety of pre-Hellenistic poetry, particularly focusing on gender dynamics in performance. She highlights how male and female performers navigate their identities, with women often downplaying their power while men strategically manipulate gender roles. The analysis culminates with Sappho's written poetry, showcasing how it crafts a distinct fictional persona that invites imaginative recreation by others.
