An international panel of contributors, including leading experts as well as emerging voices in the field, examine the ancient ‘Art of the Muses’ from a wide range of methodological, theoretical, and practical perspectives. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book explores the pervasive presence of the performing arts in ancient Greek and Roman culture―ranging from musical mythology to music theory and education, as well as archaeology and the practicalities of performances in private and public contexts.
