Reviews'[An] original and significant monograph whose combination of theoretically sophisticated examinations of key concepts of narratology with innovative and persuasive close readings of texts from Homer to Heliodorus attest to its potential to cut across disciplinary boundaries and to attract not only classicists but also scholars in comparative literature, in medieval and modern languages, and in performance and media studies departments.' Nebojsa Todorovic, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

SynopsisDemonstrates the limits of narratology in understanding ancient texts and forges a new approach that investigates the specific logic of ancient narrative. An invaluable introduction to ancient views of narrative but also a major contribution to a historically sensitive theory of narrative., The taxonomies of narratology have proven valuable tools for the analysis of ancient literature, but, since they were mostly forged in the analysis of modern novels, they have also occluded the distinct quality of ancient narrative and its understanding in antiquity. Ancient Greek Texts and Modern Narrative Theory paves the way for a new approach to ancient narrative that investigates its specific logic. Jonas Grethlein's sophisticated discussion of a wide range of literary texts in conjunction with works of criticism sheds new light on such central issues as fictionality, voice, Theory of Mind and narrative motivation. The book provides classicists with an introduction to ancient views of narrative but is also a major contribution to a historically sensitive theory of narrative.
