It has been some 80 years since William Halliday produced a short account entitled Greek and Roman Folklore. To attempt to cover the same ground now has presented this author with a challenge of compression. The amount of material available to Halliday and to H. J. Rose in the early part of last century was intractable enough, but the increase since the 1920s in theory alone has made a further survey increasingly necessary and increasingly beyond the scope of any single volume. This is all the more evident because classicists, in particular, tend to classify folkloric materials in so many other ways and tend to avoid folklore as a subject in its own right. I have set out to offer some overview of defi nitions of folklore and some limitations, ancient and modern, in the way we tend to approach it. [download]
