Talk:Greek literature

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should this be at literature of Greece? Possibly a can of worms, but... Say a book is published by someone this year in modern Greece. Where would information on it be? Our current standards claim Literature of Greece, I think, but having Greek literature and literature of Greece separated on chronological grounds seems silly. Any ideas?

Yes, what has China done? Koyaanis Qatsi 05:52 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Chinese literature seems to include old stuff all the way to Amy Tan, and Literature of China is empty. Maybe the best solution is to move them both to literature of and include everything in the nation's history, the if literature of ancient Greece needs to be separated out, it can be. Tuf-Kat

[edit] Does 'greek literature' imply 'ancient greek literature'?

In its current state, the Greek literature article seems to imply that information within should be available solely for ancient Greek literature. As such, one has to ask whether or not the term 'Greek literature' implies 'ancient Greek literature', excluding modern Greek literature (however minor, albeit documented [1] [2], this phenomenon may be)?

Thank you for your input,

This article is supposed to give a coherent overview over the periods summarized in the "Greek literature" box at the top, viz. Ancient, Byzantine and Modern. The current list of authors is not helpful, we have list articles for that (Ancient Literature). Full coverage should be aimed for at the sub-articles, not here; thus, the lists should be replaced by something more flowing. dab (ᛏ) 13:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] formatting

In my browser the [edit] links for the first three sections all appear under, or rather in the middle of, the text for "Classical" - if I knew how such formatting was managed I would attempt a fix on my own, but I'll leave it up to someone (hopefully much) more qualified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.244.70.102 (talk) 08:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
