Choral Constructions in Greek Culture
«'… attractive and wide-ranging book … Steiner approaches ancient “chorality” first through a systematic examination on common verbal and visual metaphors (stars, dolphins, cranes, satyrs), and then by exploring ways in which dance was implicated in social aspects of Greek life and how viewers responded to it.' Armand D'Angour, Choral Constructions in Greek Literature»

«'At over seven hundred pages, this tome is rich with sources and ideas … The basic idea that a chorus has a complex materiality is powerful. Scholars will find here a trove of useful ideas and associations about that materiality.' Daniel Anderson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review»
