Tragic Hexameters and Generic Archaeology: Hera's Hymn to the Nymphs (Aesch. Frags. 168–168b Radt).
This article discusses the hexameter piece in Aeschylus' fragments 168–168b Radt (probably from Semele or Water-bearers), a hymn to the nymphs of Argos sung by Hera while disguised as a wandering priestess. First I detail the way in which the text evokes and adapts the tradition of hymnic poetry in...

First I detail the way in which the text evokes and adapts the tradition of hymnic poetry in hexameters (instantiated, among others, by the Homeric Hymns) in both content and form. Then I argue that Aeschylus performs an exercise in generic archaeology, recreating an archetypal stage of the hymnic tradition in the fitting context of a mythical episode. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Classical Philology is the property of University of Chicago Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
