TL;DR: The paean, or sacred hymn to Apollo, had a central place in the song-dance culture of classical Greece as discussed by the authors, and the most celebrated examples of the genre in antiquity were Pindar's paeans, which became known to scholars in this century thanks to the discovery of papyrus fragments.
Abstract: The paean, or sacred hymn to Apollo, had a central place in the song-dance culture of classical Greece. The most celebrated examples of the genre in antiquity were Pindar's paeans, which became known to scholars in this century thanks to the discovery of papyrus fragments, some published as recently as 1989. Long overdue, this book offers the first comprehensive re-evaluation of the poems. It includes a text and translation of all the paeans of Pindar, newly classified, with a supplement comprising fragments from poems of uncertain genres. Dr Rutherford accompanies each fragment with an interpretation dealing with issues of religion, performance, and genre. A two-part comprehensive introduction looks at general aspects of the genre, including early history, functions, performance, form, eidographic determinacy, use in Greek tragedy, and paeanic ambiguity - as well as offering an overview of the Pindaric paeans and their Hellenistic edition.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic collection of the texts which relate to the different types of poetry composed by the great lyric poets of Greece is presented. But this collection is limited to the Paean and Dirge.
Abstract: Many years ago Wilamowitz desiderated a systematic collection of the texts which relate to the different types of poetry composed by the great lyric poets of Greece. He hoped that if we could only crystallize our admittedly scanty information about the characteristics of, say, the Paean or the Dirge, we might be able to reach a slightly better understanding than we have now of the formal structure and artistic design of the poems and fragments which have come down to us under these titles. Indeed, this kind of knowledge is very important.

TL;DR: In the last article of the Arethusa series as discussed by the authors, the authors focused on how the characters in Greek myths evoked emotional and cognitive responses from their audience members that were virtually indistinguishable from those evoked by people in the real world, and how the ancient modes of narrating myths helped to keep the stories and their characters alive in an audience member's mind and heart long after a narration was over.
Abstract: In the last article of Arethusa, I took up the question of how the highly polished nature of Greek mythic narratives—the vivacity and expressive power that earned so many of them an enduring place in the pleroma of world literature and art—contributed to the creation and sustenance of belief in the gods, heroes, and a divine world more generally. In that arti- cle, I focused particularly on how the characters in Greek myths evoked emotional and cognitive responses from their audience members that were virtually indistinguishable from those evoked by people in the real world, and on how the ancient modes of narrating myths (which typically treated them episodically and through a variety of different media), helped to keep the stories and their characters alive in an audience member's mind and heart long after a narration was over, thus further sustaining the beliefs that the stories had encouraged. One issue that I temporarily set aside in that article was why the narration of a wide variety of myths focusing on a wide variety of charac- ters was appropriate for recitation at a wide variety of festivals dedicated to a wide variety of gods. In many cases, of course, there is an obvious link between the myth and the festival: the story of Apollo's foundation of the Delphic Oracle makes intrinsic sense for performance at a Delphic festival in honor of Apollo (as in Aristinous's paean to Apollo and, probably, the second part of the Homeric Hymn to Apollo). In other cases, thematic or
