Applying a similar perspective to poetry belonging to the very different performative context of the symposium, this essay draws evidence from Theognis and Alcaeus suggesting that the social dynamics of sympotic performance could be expressed in terms of political fragmentation and alienation. In the Odyssey, the contrast between the epic singers Phemios and Demodokos reflects an awareness of the difference between these performative contexts.},

Two tristichs spoken by Helen in the teikhoskopia are singled out for special attention.  These lines can be construed not only as epigrams in the general sense, but more specifically as captions appended to an image of the Achaeans encamped on the plain of Troy.  Since Helen{\textquoteright}s lines to a certain extent correspond to the function and style of catalogic poetry, reading them specifically as captions leads to a more nuanced understanding of both Homeric poetry and Homeric self-reference.  By contrasting Helen{\textquoteright}s {\textquoteleft}epigrams{\textquoteright} with those of Hektor, one can also discern a gender-based differentiation of poetic functions.},
