Saxa loquuntur: The first age of poetry in Italy Faliscan and South Picene
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Historians speak of ‘the flowering of Italy’ in the Archaic Period (8th to 5th centuries B.C.)1 as a response to the waves of colonization spreading over the coastal areas, then penetrating slowly into the interior of the Mezzogiorno and Sicily. The single most important cultural manifestation was the spread of alphabetic writing. In the south it was direct, and local languages are written in the varieties of Greek alphabet their users were in contact with: Sikel, Messapic, the dialect of Bruttium, and a little later the Oscan of Lucania.
