Samenvatting	From the end of the twentieth century onwards space has become a 'hot topic' in literary studies. This thesis contributes to the spatial turn by focusing on space in archaic Greek lyric (7th-5th c bc). A theoretical framework inspired by narratology, phenomenology and metaphor theory is applied to archaic lyric poems in which city, countryside and sea are of importance. Heirman argues that space is predominantly symbolic: the city is a political or an erotic metaphor, the countryside an erotic symbol, and the sea a symbol of danger. He also attempts to connect the symbolism of space with the context of the symposium, in which the lyric poems were performed: city metaphors are linked with sympotic plays of 'guessing', the erotic activities in the countryside reveal a projection of erotic ... (Lees verder)fantasies of the symposiasts, and the danger at sea serves to reinforce the cohesion of the sympotic group. Jo Heirman heeft Grieks-Latijn gestudeerd aan de Universiteit van Gent, is gepromoveerd op Griekse letterkunde onder de supervisie van Professor Irene de Jong aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en is momentaal werkzaam als research consultant bij Schelstraete & Desmedt in Gent.
