    Summary note
    'The Cup of Song' explores the symbiotic relationship of the symposion and poetry across Greek literary history. Each chapter discusses one aspect of sympotic engagement by key authors across the major genres of Greek poetry, leading to a characterization of the full spectrum of sympotic poetry from its beginnings through to the Hellenistic age.
    Notes
    "Most of the papers included in this volume were first presented at a conference held in Oxford in 2011."
