The Enduring Power of Storytelling in Ancient Greece

Info

Storytelling held a captivating and integral role in the cultural fabric of Ancient Greece, where the oral tradition shaped the collective understanding of mythology, history, and societal values.

In a time before the widespread adoption of written language, the skilled orators, known as rhapsodes, were the custodians of the Greek narrative, captivating audiences with their dynamic performances and the timeless tales they conveyed.

At the heart of this rich oral tradition were the epic poems, such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, attributed to the legendary Homer.

These grand narratives, passed down through generations, not only entertained but also served as a means to preserve and transmit the cultural heritage of the Greek people. - https://ancientsocieties.net/blog/culture/storytellers-ancient-greece/?unique_id_wwoaixk1
