Choral orientations : spatial cognition and geopoetics in Pindar, Bacchylides, and Simonides

Abstract/Contents

Abstract
Cognition theory describes the human experience of space as dynamic both in terms of the many scales at which we perceive places and landmarks, and in terms of the many orientations through which we organize locations and distances within such scales. This is also the case for the presentation of space in late choral poetry. Such dynamism may be detected in the songs' construction of and interplay between different orientations within the visual and local scales of experience. Respecting the dynamic, network-bound nature of real experience and memory is part of what made this celebratory and occasional poetry appealing and believable to diverse audiences. "Choral Orientations" provides a critical method to support future work both on larger, regional spaces, and on multiscalar and multimodal narratives.
