Delos

The performative life of the Hellenistic period through inscriptions. The case study of Delphi and Delos

Whilst the literary sources of the Hellenistic Age provide us the possibility to speculate on the role that realistic or imagined performance had in authors’ works, the epigraphic sources of this period attesting the activities of itinerant intellectuals, artists, and musicians, allow us to investigate and focus what the panorama of performances was like.
