How important was pronunciation for speakers of Greek in the Roman Empire? Sophisticated Speakers argues that a ‘pure’ accent was a key element in the construction of Greek identity for the educated elites. The book reconstructs the special pronunciaton associated with Atticism, and the ways it was taught through the Atticist lexica.
